Abstract

Our group has recently reported the expression cloning of the human neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor DNA and subsequently the cloning of the rat homologue. These studies have made it possible to localize the mRNA encoding this NPY receptor subtype in rat tissues. We have, thus, carried out in situ hybridization studies, using radiolabeled oligonucleotide probes to the rat Y2 receptor mRNA, to determine the distribution of Y2 mRNA in rat brain and limited peripheral ganglia. Probe specificity was confirmed by testing antisense and sense probes in transfected cells. In rat brain, hybridization signals obtained with the antisense probes were discrete and were restricted to neuronal profiles in specific subregions of the cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, mesencephalon and pons. Among the regions exhibiting the most intense labeling were the CA3 region of the hippocampus, the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and layer 3 of the piriform cortex. Other regions containing labeled neurons included the medial amygdala, the centromedial thalamic nucleus, the dorsal raphe, the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and the trigeminal ganglion. The present results indicate that the mRNA encoding the Y2 receptor is discretely loc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
