β-Lactoglobulin-linoleate complexes: In vitro digestion and the role of protein in fatty acids uptake [PDF]

, 2013
peer-reviewedThe dairy protein β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is known to bind fatty acids such as the salt of the essential longchain fatty acid linoleic acid (cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acid, n-6, 18:2).

A Tac1‐Expressing Brainstem Pathway Underlies the Pathogenesis of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A critical TG‐Sp5CTac1‐PBNTac1 pathway drives trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP). Tac1‐expressing parabrachial nucleus (PBNTac1) neurons exhibit heightened responses to innocuous stimuli in TNP, and chemogenetic inhibition of these neurons effectively prevents TNP development.

Peptide‐Incorporated Biomaterials Promote Regeneration of Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Peptide‐incorporated biomaterials provide precise, tunable biological cues that mimic functional protein domains to regulate behaviors of neurons, Schwann cells, immune cells, and endothelial cells, thereby enhancing axon elongation, Schwann cell support, inflammatory microenvironment modulation, and vascularization, offering a promising alternative to

Discovery of a Positive Allosteric Modulator of Cholecystokinin Action at CCK1R in Normal and Elevated Cholesterol

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Drugs useful in prevention/treatment of obesity could improve health. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a key regulator of appetite, working through the type 1 CCK receptor (CCK1R); however, full agonists have not stimulated more weight loss than dieting.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Expanding the genotypic spectrum of PCSK1 deficiency: A novel mutation in severe neonatal diarrhea

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Among congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency is a rare monogenic disorder, associated with severe neonatal diarrhea and polyendocrinopathies. We report an 18‐day‐old male neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with persistent watery diarrhea, metabolic ...

Prediction of Cholecystokinin-Secretory Peptides Using Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory Model Based on Transfer Learning and Hierarchical Attention Network Mechanism

Biomolecules, 2023
Cholecystokinin (CCK) can make the human body feel full and has neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is beneficial in treating obesity, Parkinson’s disease, pancreatic cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma.

Neuroactive steroids in depression and anxiety disorders: Clinical studies [PDF]

, 2006
Certain neuroactive steroids modulate ligand-gated ion channels via non-genomic mechanisms. Especially 3 alpha-reduced pregnane steroids are potent positive allosteric modulators of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor.
