Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology of Vasopressin/ Oxytocin-Type Neuropeptide Signaling in Invertebrates
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-04)
The identification of structurally related hypothalamic hormones that regulate blood pressure and diuresis (vasopressin, VP; CYFQNCPRG-NH2) or lactation and uterine contraction (oxytocin, OT; CYIQNCPLG-NH2) was a major ...
Molecular identification and cellular localisation of a corticotropin-releasing hormone type neuropeptide in an echinoderm
(Karger Publishers, 2021-05-07)
Ancient role of sulfakinin/cholecystokinin-type signalling in inhibitory regulation of feeding processes revealed in an echinoderm
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2021)
Sulfakinin (SK)/cholecystokinin (CCK)-type neuropeptides regulate feeding and digestion in protostomes (e.g. insects) and chordates. Here, we characterised SK/CCK-type signalling for the first time in a non-chordate ...
The development and neuronal complexity of bipinnaria larvae of the sea star Asterias rubens
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2021-05)
Free-swimming planktonic larvae are a key stage in the development of many marine phyla, and studies of these organisms have contributed to our understanding of major genetic and evolutionary processes. Although transitory, ...
