Strategies for the Development of Conotoxins as New Therapeutic Leads
Marine Drugs, 2013 Peptide toxins typically bind to their target ion channels or receptors with high potency and selectivity, making them attractive leads for therapeutic development. In some cases the native peptide as it is found in the venom from which it originates can

Broadening the View: Substance P and Its Metabolism in Pruritus‐Related Diseases
The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus is a debilitating symptom accompanying numerous inflammatory skin diseases and remains a major therapeutic challenge. Neurogenic inflammation plays a central role in its pathogenesis, with the tachykinin substance P acting as a key mediator at the interface of the nervous system, immune cells, and cutaneous tissues.

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways
Allergy, EarlyView.Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma
