Expression and function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in stem cells
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are prototypical ligand gated ion channels typically found in muscular and neuronal tissues.Functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, however, have also recently been identified on other cell types, including stem cells.Activation of these receptors by the binding of agonists like choline, acetylcholine, or nic
