Evolution of neuropeptide signalling systems
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 Neuropeptides are a diverse class of neuronal signalling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behaviour in animals. However, determining the relationships and evolutionary origins of the heterogeneous assemblage of neuropeptides identified

Single-cell transcriptomic evidence for dense intracortical neuropeptide networks
bioRxiv, 2019 Seeking new insights into the homeostasis, modulation and plasticity of cortical synaptic networks, we have analyzed results from a single-cell RNA-seq study of 22,439 mouse neocortical neurons.

Protective effects of urocortin 2 against caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. [PDF]
, 2019 Because little is known about the role of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) agonists in regulating responses in pancreatitis, we evaluated the effects of urocortin 2 (UCN2) and stressin1 in caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) model in rats. Male

Regulation of Feeding and Metabolism by Neuropeptide F and Short Neuropeptide F in Invertebrates
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Numerous neuropeptide systems have been implicated to coordinately control energy homeostasis, both centrally and peripherally. However, the vertebrate neuropeptide Y (NPY) system has emerged as the best described one regarding this biological process ...
