Somato-dendritic localization and signaling by leptin receptors in hypothalamic POMC and AgRP neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Leptin acts via neuronal leptin receptors to control energy balance. Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP)/Neuropeptide Y (NPY)/GABA neurons produce anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, and

Neuropeptide Y prolongs non-social memory and differentially affects acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of non-social and social memory in male mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and its receptors (especially Y1, Y2, and Y5) are highly expressed in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes. Accordingly, NPY was shown to modulate cognitive functions in rodents.

Hypoglycemia Induces Diabetic Macrovascular Endothelial Dysfunction via Endothelial Cell PANoptosis, Macrophage Polarization, and VSMC Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates hypoglycemia‐induced diabetic macrovascular endothelial dysfunction. It reveals that hypoglycemia triggers ZBP1‐dependent PANoptosis of endothelial cells, proinflammatory polarization of macrophages, and fibrosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in diabetic mice.

Meta-Analysis on the Association of Neuropeptide Y rs16139 Variant With the Risk of Alcoholism

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Introduction: The neuropeptide-Y (NPY) is involved in the development of alcoholism through NPY receptors. A T>C mutation causes substitution of leucine to proline at codon 7 (L7P; rs16139) in the signal peptide of neuropeptide Y is known to cause a ...

Comprehensive Characterization of Bihormonal Cells and Endocrine Cell Lineages in Mammalian Pancreatic Islets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study integrates dual‐reporter genetics, imaging flow cytometry, and single‐cell sequencing to characterize rare bihormonal cells in mouse and human pancreatic islets. Gcg⁺Ins⁺ cells resemble α‐cells rather than transitional states. Cross‐species gene network analysis refines islet cell taxonomy and reveals human‐specific δ‐cell subtypes ...

Bidirectional Interaction Between the Brain and Bone in Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts the blood–brain barrier and activates neuroimmune responses, causing metabolic disturbances and long‐term bone mass loss. Concurrent fractures accelerate healing and enhance osteogenesis but disrupt regulatory mechanisms, leading to altered bone dynamics and exacerbating neuroinflammation, complicating recovery ...

NPY Receptors Blockade Prevents Anticonvulsant Action of Ghrelin in the Hippocampus of Rat [PDF]

Advanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2013
Purpose: Ghrelin has been shown to have antiepileptic function. However, the underlying mechanisms by which, ghrelin exerts its antiepileptic effects are still unclear.

Engineering Adenine Deaminase TadA for Precise and PAM‐Flexible Point Mutagenesis and Gradient‐Tuning Endogenous Protein Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Base editing enables precise nucleotide substitutions but limited by bystander editing. This study engineers plant base editors by fusing optimized TadA variants with PAM‐flexible SpRY nickase, enabling A‐to‐G, C‐to‐T, and dual‐base conversions in a highly condensed window (≤3 nucleotides). Additionally, TadDBE (TadA Dual‐Base Editor)‐mediated directed

Modeling heterogeneity in large‐scale bioreactors using the method of moments with a truncated normal distribution

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale bioreactors in industrial bioprocesses pose challenges due to extracellular concentration gradients and intracellular heterogeneity. This study introduces a novel approach integrating the method of moments with truncated normal distributions (MM‐TND) to model intracellular heterogeneity while maintaining computational feasibility ...
