Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]

, 2019
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...

Comparative Proteomics of Salinity Stress Responses in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluctuating salinity is symptomatic of climate change challenging aquatic species. The melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, coastal surface and groundwater salinization, and increased evaporation in arid habitats alter salinity worldwide. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as rainstorms and floods increase,

Proteolytic stabilization of a spider venom peptide results in an orally active bioinsecticide

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Selective editing out of an insect gut protease cleavage site renders a spider‐derived insecticidal peptide active by ingestion by insect pests. Abstract BACKGROUND The toxin peptide U1‐AGTX‐Ta1b from the Hobo spider, Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802), was studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticide.

A Smart Functional Microneedle, Tethered with Neuropeptide S and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases, Promotes Skin, Vascular, and Nerve Regeneration for Chronic Diabetic Skin Wound Healing

Small Structures, EarlyView.
A smart functional microneedle system, tethered with NPS and TIMP, which not only promotes diabetic wound healing and tissue remodeling at the injury site but also demonstrates the ability to dynamically and responsively release NPS and TIMP as needed, offering a potential therapeutic approach for clinical translation is presented. Increased expression

Acquired narcolepsy secondary to a presumptive hypothalamic hamartoma in a young German wirehaired pointer dog

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 3‐year‐old, male, entire, German wirehaired pointer dog was presented with a 2‐year history of paroxysmal episodes of collapse associated with reduced levels of consciousness. A magnetic resonance imaging study identified a single, ill‐defined, non‐contrast‐enhancing, intra‐axial mass lesion involving the hypothalamus.

Current Insights Into Individualized Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis Based on Phenotype and Endotype

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa characterized by allergen sensitization and the involvement of multiple inflammatory mediators. Currently, the treatment of AR mainly includes symptomatic relief, anti‐inflammatory therapy, and nerve desensitization. However, these treatments have limitations in fully
