Discovery of sea urchin NGFFFamide receptor unites a bilaterian neuropeptide family

Open Biology, 2015
Neuropeptides are ancient regulators of physiology and behaviour, but reconstruction of neuropeptide evolution is often difficult owing to lack of sequence conservation.

Intestinal Barrier Glycosylation for Gut Physiology and Pathology

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intestinal barrier is a selective structure that safeguards the body from external threats while permitting nutrient absorption and immune surveillance. It consists of the outer mucus layer, the intermediate layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and the inner layer of immune cells. The proteins in the mucus layer and within IECs are

Oxytocin Effects on Food Stimulus Processing and Food Intake in Females With or Without Binge Eating Disorder

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Binge eating disorder (BED) is maintained by increased food‐related incentive salience, which is reflected by an attentional bias for food. Oxytocin acutely attenuates this bias in patients with anorexia nervosa and reduces food intake in males with normal or increased body weight.

Antidepressant-like effects induced by galanin 2/neuropeptide Y Y1 heterodimers in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus [PDF]

, 2017
Previously, we have described the Galanin (GAL) and Neuropeptide Y Y1 (NPYY1) interactions through GAL receptor 2 and NPYY1 receptor 1 (GALR2/NPYY1R) heterodimers in the Dentate Gyrus (DG) of the Hippocampus, using autoradiographic, in situ ...

Functional morphology of the primary olfactory centers in the brain of the hermit crab Coenobita clypeatus (Anomala, Coenobitidae)

, 2020
Terrestrial hermit crabs of the genus Coenobita display strong behavioral responses to volatile odors and are attracted by chemical cues of various potential food sources.

Identifying Gene Predictors of Chemicals Linked With Breast Cancer: A Machine Learning Analysis of MCF7 Cellular Transcriptomic Screening Data

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women and has been linked to exposure to environmental chemicals. However, many chemicals have not been evaluated for relationships with this outcome. In this study, we analyzed RNA sequencing data from human breast cancer‐derived MCF7 cells exposed to hundreds of individual chemicals.

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Global Neuropeptide Annotations From the Genomes and Transcriptomes of Cubozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa (Cnidaria: Medusozoa), and Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
During animal evolution, ancestral Cnidaria and Bilateria diverged more than 600 million years ago. The nervous systems of extant cnidarians are strongly peptidergic.

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...
