Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide 1 receptor agonists and combination medications (hereafter collectively referred to as GLP‐1s) are shifting the treatment landscape for obesity. However, real‐world challenges and limited clinician and public knowledge on nutritional and lifestyle interventions can limit GLP‐1 efficacy, equitable results, and ...

Formation of a β‐Endorphin Corona Mitigates Alzheimer's Amyloidogenesis
This study revealed the molecular mechanism of exercise‐induced β‐endorphin in suppressing the toxicity of Alzheimer's Aβ in vitro, in vivo and in silico. Abstract Senile plaques, comprised of nanosized aggregates of amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptides in the brain, are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Estradiol and Mu opioid-mediated reward: The role of estrogen receptors in opioid use
Opioid use and opioid use disorder are characterized by sex and gender differences, and some of these differences may be mediated by differences in the hormonal milieu within and across individuals.
