Neuroendocrine control mechanisms are observed in all animals that possess a nervous
system. Recent analyses of neuroendocrine functions in invertebrate model systems reveal …

Crustaceans have long been used for peptide research. For example, the process of
neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated in the crustacean X-organ–sinus gland …

In nervous systems, there are two main modes of transmission for the propagation of activity
between cells. Synaptic transmission relies on close contact at chemical or electrical …

Herein, we describe the development and application of a set of novel N, N-dimethyl leucine
(DiLeu) 4-plex isobaric tandem mass (MS2) tagging reagents with high quantitation efficacy …

The development of aquaculture is closely related to human life. Crustaceans play essential
roles in aquaculture. However, the cultivation of crustaceans has been plagued by various …

We report 43 novel genes in the water flea Daphnia pulex encoding 73 predicted
neuropeptide and protein hormones as partly confirmed by RT-PCR. MALDI-TOF mass …

During the computations performed by the nervous system, its 'wiring diagram'—the map of
its neurons and synaptic connections—is dynamically modified and supplemented by …

To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of General and Comparative Endocrinology, the
history of only a small portion of crustacean endocrinology is presented here. The field of …

Neuropeptides are a diverse class of signalling molecules that are widely employed as
neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in animals, both invertebrate and vertebrate …

Insect molting and metamorphosis are induced by steroid hormones named ecdysteroids,
whose production is regulated by various neuropeptides. We cloned the gene and analyzed …
