Peptide Cotransmitters as Dynamic, Intrinsic Modulators of Network Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018
Neurons can contain both neuropeptides and “classic” small molecule transmitters. Much progress has been made in studies designed to determine the functional significance of this arrangement in experiments conducted in invertebrates and in the vertebrate

Halogenated Metabolites from the Diet of Aplysia dactylomela Rang

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Invertebrates are an important source of structurally-diverse and biologically-active halogenated metabolites. The sea hare Aplysia dactylomela Rang has long been known to possess halogenated metabolites of dietary origin that are used as a self-defense ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of shrimp immune cells identifies macrophage-like phagocytes

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Despite the importance of innate immunity in invertebrates, the diversity and function of innate immune cells in invertebrates are largely unknown. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we identified prohemocytes, monocytic hemocytes, and granulocytes as the three ...

Vertebrate and Invertebrate Animal and New In Vitro Models for Studying Neisseria Biology

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
The history of Neisseria research has involved the use of a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate animal models, from insects to humans. In this review, we itemise these models and describe how they have made significant contributions to ...
