The distributions of neuropeptides in paraffin-embedded tissue sections (PETS) of the
eyestalk, brain, and thoracic ganglia of the shrimp Penaeus monodon were visualized by …

Neuropeptides are low abundance signaling molecules that modulate almost every
physiological process, and dysregulation of neuropeptides is implicated in disease …

The emerging technology mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) provides an attractive
opportunity to detect and probe the molecular content of tissues in an anatomical context …

Imaging mass spectrometry is emerging as a powerful tool that has been applied extensively
for the localization of proteins, peptides, pharmaceutical compounds, metabolites, and lipids …

Neuropeptides are an important class of signaling molecules in the nervous and
neuroendocrine system, but they are challenging to study due to their low concentration in …

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) of neuropeptides in crustacean neuronal tissues was
performed on a MALDI-TOF/TOF instrument. Sample preparation protocols were developed …

Mass spectrometric methods were applied to determine the peptidome of the brain and
thoracic ganglion of the Jonah crab (Cancer borealis). Fractions obtained by high …

The blue crab Callinectes sapidus has been used as an experimental model organism for
the study of regulation of cardiac activity and other physiological processes. Moreover, it is …

Considerable effort has been devoted to characterizing the crustacean stomatogastric
nervous system (STNS) with great emphasis on comprehensive analysis and mapping …

The crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) is modulated by both locally released
