D’Amérique latine607-28-1515-4 Tropical coastal lagoon environments provide a number of ecosystem services, but are threatened by the pressure imposed by human activities and climatic change; these systems are particularly vulnerable because of a high demographic growth. Therefore, the understanding of their ecological behavior and the characterization of lagoon health indicators have attained importance. Under this perspective Mexican (UAM-X) and French (UMRs MIO and MARBEC) researchers have collaborated from 2011 to 2014 as part of one action of the international exchange program ECOS/ANUIES, and chose the Sontecomapan lagoon (at the Mexican state of Veracruz) as a case study. This book provides information of the ecological behavior, water quality indicators, and details of microorganisms and plankton, which due to their short life cycles and their high reactivity to environmental conditions are good.EconomicsEnvironmental Studiesenvironnementeauécologiebiodiversitéchangement climatiqueVeracruzplanctonMexiquedémographiebiologierésiliencelagunesbiodiversityclimate changeecologyMexicobiodiversityclimate changeecologyMexicoVeracruzEconomicsEnvironmental Studiesenvironnementeauécologiebiodiversitéchangement climatiqueVeracruzplanctonMexiquedémographiebiologierésiliencelagunesbiodiversityclimate changeecologyMexicoAguirre-León Arturo1305075Aké-Castillo José Antolín1305076Aldeco-Ramírez Javier1305077Ángeles-Vázquez José Roberto1305078Benítez-Díaz Mirón Marcela Ivonne1305079Castellanos-Páez María Elena1305080Castillo-Rivera Manuel1305081Castor Ruth Soto1305082Díaz-Ruiz Silvia1305083Encarnación Saúl Almanza1305084Esquivel-Herrera Alfonso1305085Ferrara-Guerrero María Jesús1305086Figueroa-Torres María Guadalupe1305087Figueroa Torres María Guadalupe1305088Garza-Mouriño Gabriela1305089González-Fierro Aurora1305090Guillén Castrillo Marissa1305091Hernández-Gaona José Luis1305092Herrera Alfonso Esquive1305093Lara-Domínguez Ana Laura1305094Morán-Villa Vanessa1305095Pagano Marc1305096Ponce-Vélez Guadalupe1305097Roldán-Aragón Iván Ernesto1305098Soto-Castor Ruth1305099Vázquez Gabriela1305100Castellanos-Páez Maria Elena1305101Esquivel Herrera Alfonso1305085Aldeco-Ramírez Javier1305077Pagano Marc1305096FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910496009303321Ecology of the Sontecomapan Lagoon, Veracruz3027801UNINA04974nam 2200421z- 450 991016664580332120210211(CKB)3710000001092141(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/54527(oapen)doab54527(EXLCZ)99371000000109214120202102d2016 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNeuroplasticity and Extracellular ProteolysisFrontiers Media SA20161 online resource (151 p.)Frontiers Research Topics2-88919-851-0 Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the Central Nervous System (CNS) to alter its structure and function in response to a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as development, cognition, injury or neurological diseases. Since more than four decades, studies on synaptic plasticity in the context of memory and learning attracted a remarkable interest. Soon after first seminal works on synaptic plasticity were published, research in this field was extended by studies on non-synaptic as wells as structural plasticity towards a goal to understand cellular and molecular determinants of cognition. Over the past two decades, yet two additional crucial players in neuroplastic phenomena started to be intensely investigated - glial cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Growing awareness that glial cells, especially astrocytes, are important regulators of synaptic functions gave rise to a novel concept of a tri-partite synapse. Also, over the last two decades, a growing body of evidence has accumulated that the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the brain is strongly involved in regulation of neurons, in particular, in synaptic plasticity. Thus, a concept of tetra-partite synapse was put forward by some neuroscientists. The cross-talk between neuron-glia-ECM system involves enzymatic degradation of proteins or peptides and amino acids occurring in each of these brain constituents by means of a variety of proteases. Importantly, it has been realized that proteases such as serine proteases and matrix metalloproteinases, not only accompany "robust" phenomena such as cell division, or development or neurodegnerative conditions but may play a very subtle signaling functions, particularly important in memory acquisition. Indeed, the repertoire of substrates for these enzymes covers a wide variety of proteins known to play important role in the neuroplastic phenomena (e.g. BDNF, TNF-a, ephrin systems, various cell adhesion molecules, etc.). In result, the role of metalloproteinases and such serine proteases as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), neuropsin or neurotrypsin in synaptic plasticity as well as in learning and memory has been particularly well demonstrated. It needs to be emphasized, however, that in spite of a remarkable progress in this field, several basic questions regarding molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unanswered. Potential involvement of so many important players (various proteases and their substrates in neurons, glia and in ECM) points to an enormous potential for plasticity phenomena but makes also studies into underlying mechanisms particularly difficult. In the proposed Research Topic we provide both review of the current state of the art and present some original reports on specific aspects of the role of proteolysis in neuroplasticity phenomena. The present ebook starts with extensive reviews describing involvement of proteolysis not only in synaptic plasticity but also in regulating endogenous excitability and structural changes at the network, cellular and subcellular levels. Cross-talk between neuroplasticity and proteolysis is also emphasized in the context of development and in relation to various pathologies. Whereas in the first part of the present ebook, the major focus is on metalloproteinases, the successive articles address the role of neuropsin and thrombin. The Research Topic is concluded with a series of articles describing the components of extracellular matrix and adhesion proteins and their elaboration by mechanisms dependent directly or indirectly on proteolysis. We do hope that the present ebook will further stimulate the interest in the fascinating investigations into neuroplasticity-proteolysis cross-talk.NeurosciencesbicsscCell Adhesion MoleculesexcitabilityExtracellular Matrixneurodevelopmentnuropathologystructural plasticitysynaptic plasticityNeurosciencesLeszek Kaczmarekauth1331041Jerzy W.
