✦ Synopsis

The silkworm synthesizes large amounts of silk proteins in its silk glands and spins them into silk fibers to build a cocoon. This ability to synthesize silk proteins in large quantities may be useful for the mass production of recombinant proteins. In this issue of B&B, Adachi and coworkers have succeeded in synthesizing a large amount of recombinant human collagen a chain (the non-triple helical a1 chain of human type I collagen) using a transgenic silkworm. They tested the possibility of using the collagen a chain as a cell culture scaffold, and found that cells could be cultured on the chain as on marketed gelatin-the denatured and fragmented form of collagen. Since the collagen a chain has uniform molecular weight and no risks of animal-derived pathogen contamination, the a chain is a promising candidate biomaterial as a high-quality and safe substitute for marketed gelatin.

Cocaine's addictive liability has been linked to its pharmacologic actions on mesotelencephalic dopamine (DA) reinforcement/reward pathways in the central nervous system (CNS). Dopaminergic transmission within these pathways is modulated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). With this knowledge, we exa

Like many psychostimulant drugs, nicotine elevates extracellular and synaptic dopamine (DA) concentrations in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). This elevation has been linked to its reinforcing properties. Dopaminergic transmission within the NAc is modulated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Therefore,
