Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel amino acid (aa)‐score‐based single‐position peptide clustering strategy is developed for peptidomics, enabling precise profiling of protein proteolysis in plasma from β‐thalassemia cohort. The method identifies new aa position‐based peptide cluster biomarkers validated by heavy‐labeled peptides, visualizes aggregated changes, uncovers disease ...

Neuropeptides in the Gonads: From Evolution to Pharmacology
Frontiers 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 ...

Hungry for Knowledge: Octopamine Signaling Regulates Hunger‐Enhanced Olfactory Learning
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers demonstrate that hunger state facilitates both aversive and appetitive olfactory learning. Two distinct octopamine signaling pathways are involved in aversive or appetitive memory formation in the hunger state. And, hunger state also facilitates the formation of both types of memories via an evolutionarily conserved norepinephrine (the ...

Dexmedetomidine ameliorates muscle wasting and attenuates the alteration of hypothalamic neuropeptides and inflammation in endotoxemic rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Dexmedetomidine is generally used for sedaton in critically ill, it could shorten duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and lower basic metabolism. However, the exact mechanism of these positive effects remains unkown.

Stromal Cell‐Mast Cell Communication Orchestrates Anti‐Viral Immunity in the Meninges
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study delineates the spatial distribution and postnatal maturation of meningeal mast cells and uncovers their essential role in antiviral immunity. Using genetic models, mast cells are shown to promote CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and viral clearance via IL‐33 receptor signaling and synergistic activation by IL‐33 and ATP from infected stromal cells ...
