Evolution of Orexin Neuropeptide System: Structure and Function
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that were initially identified in the rat brain as endogenous ligands for an (previously) orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).

Magnesium-based implants: Beyond fixators
Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2017 The mystery behind magnesium-induced bone formation is revealed by linking the neuropeptide(s) from sensory nerves with the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells in the periosteum.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study integrates dual‐reporter genetics, imaging flow cytometry, and single‐cell sequencing to characterize rare bihormonal cells in mouse and human pancreatic islets. Gcg⁺Ins⁺ cells resemble α‐cells rather than transitional states. Cross‐species gene network analysis refines islet cell taxonomy and reveals human‐specific δ‐cell subtypes ...

Peptide Cotransmitters as Dynamic, Intrinsic Modulators of Network Activity
Frontiers 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
