High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

A Novel Antioxidant Peptide Cath‐Np Derived from Nanorana parkeri Attenuates UVB‐Induced Skin Photodamage in Mice

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of Cath‐Np as an antioxidant suppressing acute skin damage caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in mice. Cath‐Np inhibits the activation of p53 and mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathways while it activates the Nrf2 pathway by its strong antioxidant effects, and accordingly suppresses the expression of inflammatory factors
