We have shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) regulates neurogenesis in the normal dentate gyrus (DG) via Y1 receptors (Howell, O.W., Scharfman, H.E., Herzog, H., Sundstrom, L.E., Beck-Sickinger, A. and Gray, W.P.

Resting behaviour as a target for innovative mosquito control strategies
Abstract This work reviews and discusses how a deeper knowledge of mosquito time‐allocation, particularly resting periods, can enhance the effectiveness and deployment of classical vector control tools. As more high‐resolution data are gathered by novel tracking devices, follow‐up questions investigating mosquito behaviour are likely to arise ...

Structural basis for recognition of 26RFa by the pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide receptor
The neuropeptide 26RFa, a member of the RF-amide peptide family, activates the pyroglutamylated RF-amide peptide receptor (QRFPR), a class A GPCR. The 26RFa/QRFPR system plays critical roles in energy homeostasis, making QRFPR an attractive drug target ...

Overexpression of GSK‐3β in DG GABAergic neurons impairs neurogenesis by reducing GABA release, which can be reversed by enhancing GABAergic transmission. ABSTRACT The activation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK‐3β) and the deterioration of spatial memory represent prominent pathological and clinical manifestations of Alzheimer's disease (AD ...

Healthy RPE cells produce AMPs and AMP precursors, including amyloid precursor protein (APP) and chemerin, and protect the neuroretina from blood‐borne pathogens and maintain homeostasis. When RPE cells undergo senescence, the antibacterial activity declines, and APP undergoes amylogenesis, leading to Aβ deposition.
