Research progress on the mechanisms of pain empathy
This article is related to the graphical research progress of pain empathy, starting with the description of the pain matrix and mirror neurons. Based on the pain matrix and mirror neurons, pain empathy results from the combined action of brain regions such as the anterior cingulate cortex, insula, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala and regulatory ...

ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent chronic joint disorder affecting ~600 million individuals worldwide and is characterized by complex pain mechanisms that significantly impair patient quality of life. Challenges exist in accurately assessing and measuring pain in OA due to variations in pain perception among individuals and the ...

Defects in the striatal neuropeptide Y system in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism.
Neuropeptide Y is a novel bioactive substance that plays a role in the modulation of neurogenesis and neurotransmitter release, and thereby exerts a protective influence against neurodegeneration.

Sensory and Autonomic Fibers in Anterior Ethmoid, Posterior Nasal, Posterolateral Nasal Nerves
All cadaveric anterior ethmoid, posterior, and posterolateral nasal nerves contained roughly equivalent proportions of sensory, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nerve fiber markers. Neurokinin A was the only neuropeptide with consistently greater percent areas across the different nasal nerves.

Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a

ABSTRACT Complex organic mixtures are found in many areas of research, such as energy, environment, health, planetology, and cultural heritage, to name but a few. However, due to their complex chemical composition, which holds an extensive potential of information at the molecular level, their molecular characterization is challenging.
