FUNCTIONAL AND NEUROCHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION OF GHRELIN RECEPTOR (GHSR)-EXPRESSING CELLS OF THE LATERAL PARABRACHIAL NUCLEUS IN MICE

Functional and Neurochemical Identification of Ghrelin Receptor (GHSR)-Expressing Cells of the Lateral Parabrachial Nucleus in Mice

The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN), located in the pons, is a well-recognized anorexigenic center harboring, amongst others, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-expressing neurons that play a key role.The receptor for the orexigenic hormone ghrelin (the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, GHSR) is also abundantly expressed in the lPBN

RNA-seq transcriptional profiling of Leishmania amazonensis reveals an arginase-dependent gene expression regulation.

Leishmania is a protozoan parasite that alternates its life cycle between the sand-fly vector and the mammalian host.This alternation involves environmental changes and leads the parasite to dynamic modifications in morphology, metabolism, cellular signaling and regulation of gene expression to allow for a rapid adaptation to new conditions.The L-a
