Foundational contributions of Svetlana Mojsov to the GLP-1 field by George Barany, Michael J. Barany

“…Biochemist Svetlana Mojsov, both as a graduate student at The Rockefeller University under the mentorship of Bruce Merrifield during the 1970s, and as an independent investigator at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) during the 1980s, devised effective and robust methods for the chemical synthesis of the peptide hormones glucagon and glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), along with numerous analogues of these key biomolecules. Working separately from MGH’s powerhouse endocrine research laboratory, Mojsov developed a tool-kit of reliable assays that were indispensable to later in vitro and in vivo collaborative studies that established profound insulinotropic effects of this peptide family, findings that were subsequently harnessed clinically with blockbuster drugs directed at often-serious endocrine conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. …”

How Significant Are Marine Invertebrate Collagens? Exploring Trends in Research and Innovation by Mariana Almeida, Tiago Silva, Runar Gjerp Solstad, Ana I. Lillebø, Ricardo Calado, Helena Vieira

“…The findings reveal that research dates back to the 1970s, and after a period of reduced activity, interest in collagens from several marine invertebrate groups was renewed around 2008, likely driven by the increased commercial interest in these biomolecules of marine origin. Research and development are predominantly reported from China and Japan, highlighting significant research interest in cnidarians (jellyfish), echinoderms (sea cucumbers, sea urchins and starfish), molluscs (squid and cuttlefish) and sponges. …”
