12-plex DiLeu enables robust quantification of the feeding neuropeptidome

This paper uses 12-plex DiLeu labeling to quantitatively analyze the feeding neuropeptidome across multiple tissues and timepoints in Cancer borealis, revealing distinct regulatory patterns and functional specificity of peptide variants.

Reconstituting Mouse Embryogenesis Ex Utero from Gastrulation to Fetal Development Reveals Maternally Independent Metabolic Programs

This paper uses ex utero culture to study mouse embryogenesis from gastrulation to fetal development, revealing metabolically independent programs and environmental influences on metabolic transitions.

Quantitative Neuropeptidomics Reveals Thermal Acclimation-Induced Remodeling of Peptidergic Signaling in the American Lobster Homarus americanus

The paper uses mass spectrometry to analyze neuropeptide changes in American lobsters under different temperatures, finding tissue-specific peptide abundance shifts linked to thermal adaptation.

cNPDB: A comprehensive empirical crustacean neuropeptide database

The paper introduces cNPDB, a database of crustacean neuropeptides, providing annotated sequences, properties, and structural predictions to support research and cross-species studies.

HILIC-Enabled Mass Spectrometric Discovery of Novel Endogenous and Glycosylated Neuropeptides in the American Lobster Nervous System

This study identifies 154 endogenous neuropeptides and 24 glycosylated neuropeptides in the American lobster using HILIC and EThcD mass spectrometry.
