Clinical Significance of Copper Chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase in Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Targeting Cu transport proteins is an innovative therapeutic approach for combating cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the malignant potential of Cu transport proteins remain largely unknown. To address this issue, we focused on the oncogenic potential of copper chaperones for superoxide dismutase (CCS) in colorectal cancer (

Case Series of Nizon‐Isidor Syndrome by Heterozygous Variants in MED12L With Further Evidence of Mitotic Instability in One Case With Diploid–Triploid Mosaicism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nizon‐Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7‐year‐old female who presented with developmental delay, right‐leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin ...

EFFECT OF FMRFAMIDE-LIKE PEPTIDES ON THE PHARYNGEAL MUSCLE OF NEMATODES

open access: yesРоссийский паразитологический журнал, 2016
FMRFamide-like peptides play an important physiological role in the enteric nervous system of nematodes.This is confirmed by immunocytochemical data on the presence and localization of neuropeptides in the pharynx of parasitic nematode Ascaris suum ...

Evolution and Comparative Physiology of Luqin-Type Neuropeptide Signaling

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Luqin is a neuropeptide that was discovered and named on account of its expression in left upper quadrant cells of the abdominal ganglion in the mollusc Aplysia californica.

The Multifaceted Etiology of Mental Disorders With a Focus on Trace Elements, a Review of Recent Literature

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental disorders are a significant global public health concern, affecting nearly one in eight individuals worldwide. This review investigates the multifaceted etiology of mental disorders—specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and bipolar disorder (BD)—through genetic, neurobiological, and environmental ...

Chapter 9 The neuropeptide concept

open access: yesMaturitas, 1984
Publisher Summary Neuropeptides are endogenous substances present in nerve cells that are involved in nervous system function. Neuropeptides are synthesized in large precursor proteins, and several are formed in the same precursor such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and β-endorphin in proopiomelanocortin (POMC).

Targeted Proteomics upon Treatment with Tofersen Identifies Novel Response Markers for Superoxide Dismutase 1‐Linked Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Tofersen is the first effective and approved therapy for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)‐associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS [SOD1‐ALS]). Following treatment with tofersen, neurofilament levels in patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum seem to respond earlier than clinical parameters.

Neuropeptides in the Gonads: From Evolution to Pharmacology

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2010
Vertebrate gonads are the sites of synthesis and binding of many peptides that were initially classified as neuropeptides. These gonadal neuropeptide systems are neither well understood in isolation, nor in their interactions with other neuropeptide ...

Neuronal transcriptome analyses reveal novel neuropeptide modulators of excitation and inhibition imbalance in C. elegans.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Neuropeptides are secreted molecules that have conserved roles modulating many processes, including mood, reproduction, and feeding. Dysregulation of neuropeptide signaling is also implicated in neurological disorders such as epilepsy.

Fluorescent Peptide Tracers for Simultaneous Oxytocin Receptor Activation and Visualization

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Illuminating the Oxytocin Receptor: Here we present the development of fluorescent peptide tracers for the simultaneous visualization and activation of the oxytocin receptor, an important G protein‐coupled receptor involved in health and disease. These tracers are powerful new tools to support various imaging and functional studies across biological ...
