This review deals with the contributions of comparative studies on the nucleic acids and
proteins of present-day organisms to knowledge of evolu tion. On the whole, this has been the …

Thanks to the precision of electrophysiological measurements a detailed analysis of the extent
and time course of transmitter release is available. The invasion of a nerve terminal by an …

Synapse formation requires the differentiation of a functional nerve terminal opposite a
specialized postsynaptic membrane. Here, we show that laminin β2, a component of the synaptic …

A rat chondrosarcoma cell line and primary bovine chondrocytes have been used to study
cell-mediated aggrecan catabolism. Addition of 1 μM retinoic acid to chondrosarcoma cultures …

We have determined that synaptic vesicles contain a vesicle‐specific keratan sulfate integral
membrane proteoglycan. This is a major proteoglycan in electric organ synaptic vesicles. It …

… This is the procedure followed in this paper (Figure 2A) and the preceding paper (Carlson
et al., 1978). Intuition suggests that density measurements in such gradients will be closer to …

Presynaptic calcium channels and α3‐integrins are complexed with synaptic cleft laminins,
cytoskeletal elements and active zone components - Carlson - 2010 - Journal of …

… (63) and Iwata and Carlson (30). To immunoprecipitate SV2PG from brain extracts, 30 µl
of the extract was diluted with 400 µl of immunoprecipitation buffer containing 0.4 M NaCl, 20 …

Interactions between growing axons and synaptic basal lamina components direct the
formation of neuromuscular junctions during nerve regeneration. Isoforms of laminin containing …
