Membrane proteins are still heavily under-represented in the protein data bank (PDB),
owing to multiple bottlenecks. The typical low abundance of membrane proteins in their …

To delve into the structure–function relationship of transmembrane proteins (TMPs), robust
protocols are needed to produce them in a pure, stable, and functional state. Among all …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) contributes to both autonomic and
neuroendocrine function. PVN lesion or inhibition blunts cardiorespiratory responses to …

G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play crucial roles in sensory, immune, and tumor
metastasis processes, making them valuable targets for pharmacological and sensing …

Background: Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) is a type of organophosphate-degrading
enzyme which is widely used in the bioremediation process. Objectives: In this study, the …

Corticotropin-releasing (CRF) factor plays a central role in the orchestration of behavioral
and neuroendocrine responses to stress. The family of CRF-related peptides (CRF and …

Stress-related peptide corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and CRF-related peptides are
distributed in the peripheral viscera such as the bladder. We investigated the contribution of …

Background The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog buserelin causes enteric
neuronal loss. Acute stress or injection of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) affects motility …

There are sex differences in the response to stress and in the influence of stress on
reproduction which may be due to gonadal steroids but the nature of these differences and …

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease, and islet autoantibodies
secreted by auto-reactive plasma cells are diagnostic indicators of the immune processes …
