Liu W, Stenovec M, Lee W, Montana V, Kreft M, Zorec R, et al.
Cell Calcium . 2022 Mar; 104:102570. PMID: 35314381
Interactive mechanical forces between pairs of individual SNARE proteins synaptobrevin 2 (Sb2) and syntaxin 1A (Sx1A) may be sufficient to mediate vesicle docking. This notion, based on force spectroscopy single...

Montana V, Flint D, Waagepetersen H, Schousboe A, Parpura V
Neurochem Res . 2021 May; 46(10):2551-2579. PMID: 34057673
Astrocytes have a prominent role in metabolic homeostasis of the brain and can signal to adjacent neurons by releasing glutamate via a process of regulated exocytosis. Astrocytes synthesize glutamate de...

Hopkins S, Gottipati M, Montana V, Bekyarova E, Haddon R, Parpura V
Neuroglia . 2019 May; 1(2):327-338. PMID: 31106292
The unique properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have made them interesting candidates for applications in biomedicine. There are diverse chemical groups that can be attached to SWCNTs in order...

Buscemi L, Ginet V, Lopatar J, Montana V, Pucci L, Spagnuolo P, et al.
Cereb Cortex . 2016 Apr; 27(3):2365-2384. PMID: 27075036
In astrocytes, the intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signaling mediated by activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) is crucially involved in the modulation of many aspects of brain physiology, including gliotransmission....

Verkhratsky A, Steardo L, Parpura V, Montana V
Prog Neurobiol . 2015 Sep; 144:188-205. PMID: 26386136
Fundamentally, all brain disorders can be broadly defined as the homeostatic failure of this organ. As the brain is composed of many different cells types, including but not limited to...

Wang Y, Montana V, Grubisic V, Stout Jr R, Parpura V, Gu L
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces . 2014 Dec; 7(1):184-92. PMID: 25511125
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most lethal toxin known to human. Biodefense requires early and rapid detection of BoNTs. Traditionally, BoNTs can be detected by looking for signs of botulism...

Montana V, Verkhratsky A, Parpura V
Curr Neuropharmacol . 2014 Oct; 12(4):324-33. PMID: 25342940
Liver failure can lead to generalized hyperammonemia, which is thought to be the underlying cause of hepatic encephalopathy. This neuropsychiatric syndrome is accompanied by functional changes of astrocytes. These glial...

Kim H, Montana V, Jang H, Parpura V, Kim J
J Biol Chem . 2013 Jun; 288(31):22693-705. PMID: 23754277
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenol in green tea that has beneficial effects in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Autophagy is a cellular process that protects cells from stressful...

Parnis J, Montana V, Delgado-Martinez I, Matyash V, Parpura V, Kettenmann H, et al.
J Neurosci . 2013 Apr; 33(17):7206-19. PMID: 23616530
Mitochondria not only provide cells with energy, but are central to Ca(2+) signaling. Powered by the mitochondrial membrane potential, Ca(2+) enters the mitochondria and is released into the cytosol through...

Parpura V, Heneka M, Montana V, Oliet S, Schousboe A, Haydon P, et al.
J Neurochem . 2012 Jan; 121(1):4-27. PMID: 22251135
Neuroglial cells define brain homeostasis and mount defense against pathological insults. Astroglia regulate neurogenesis and development of brain circuits. In the adult brain, astrocytes enter into intimate dynamic relationship with...
