Single-cell transcriptomics of vomeronasal neuroepithelium reveals a differential endoplasmic reticulum environment amongst neuronal subtypes by GVS Devakinandan, Mark Terasaki, Adish Dani

“…The AOS comprising the peripheral sensory vomeronasal organ has evolved elaborate molecular and cellular mechanisms to detect chemo signals. To gain insight into the cell types, developmental gene expression patterns, and functional differences amongst neurons, we performed single-cell transcriptomics of the mouse vomeronasal sensory epithelium. …”

The cardiac phospho-proteome during pressure overload in mice by Rhys Wardman, Steve Grein, Jennifer Schwartz, Frank Stein, Joerg Heineke

“…Our analysis highlights significant changes in hypertrophic signalling, metabolic remodelling, contractile function, and the stress response pathways. We present proteomic data from the main cardiac cell types (endothelial cells, fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes) to reveal the cellular localisation of the detected phospho-proteins, offering insights into temporal and site-specific phosphorylation events, facilitating the potential discovery of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers. …”

The neuropeptide sulfakinin is a peripheral regulator of insect behavioral switch between mating and foraging by Hong-Fei Li, Bao Dong, Yuan-Yuan Peng, Hao-Yue Luo, Xiao-Lan Ou, Zheng-Lin Ren, Yoonseong Park, Jin-Jun Wang, Hong-Bo Jiang

“…Further analysis of the mutant flies revealed that sets of odorant receptor (OR) genes were differentially expressed. Functional characterization of the differentially expressed ORs suggested that sulfakinin directly suppresses the expression of ORs that respond to opposite-sex hormones while enhancing the expression of ORs that detect food volatiles. …”
