Key research themes

1. How are endogenous peptides like Neuromedin U and Neopterin involved in neurological and metabolic regulation within Neolatin biological systems?

This research theme examines the roles of endogenous neuropeptides such as Neuromedin U (NMU) and neopterin in modulating neurological functions, immune responses, and metabolic processes. Understanding their molecular mechanisms and physiological impacts is crucial due to their potential therapeutic applications in metabolic disorders, cognitive function, and neurodegenerative diseases—areas of interest in Neolatin studies where neuropeptide signaling and immune modulation intersect.

Key finding: This review consolidates evidence that NMU and its receptors NMUR1 and NMUR2 regulate feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and inflammatory responses, acting centrally and peripherally. Genetic models demonstrate that NMU... Read more
Key finding: The study discovered that neopterin, a marker of immune activation, enhances memory performance in rodents via mechanisms involving Nrf2 pathway activation and induced hemeoxygenase-1 expression. This neuroimmune interaction... Read more
Key finding: The research developed a precise HPLC method to quantify urinary neopterin as an oxidative stress biomarker in workers occupationally exposed to toxins. Elevated neopterin levels correlated with toxic exposure, linking immune... Read more

2. What molecular and cellular mechanisms underlie neuroprotection and neurodegeneration in Neolatin models via peptides and post-translational modifications?

This theme investigates how neuropeptides like melatonin and post-translational modifications, including S-nitrosylation and S-acylation of proteins such as huntingtin and ataxin-1, influence neuronal survival, neuroplasticity, and neurodegenerative disease progression. The molecular pathways involved in neurotrophic actions and protein modifications expand understanding of neural health in Neolatin biomedical contexts.

Key finding: The paper demonstrates that melatonin modulates neuronal survival, proliferation, and differentiation by mimicking neurotrophic factors in signaling pathways critical to brain plasticity and development. Melatonin's... Read more
Key finding: This study identifies that expansion of polyglutamine tracts in neurodegenerative proteins huntingtin and ataxin-1 enhances their S-nitrosylation and S-acylation modifications, which modulate protein aggregation and toxicity.... Read more
Key finding: The authors report that decreased expression of neurogranin and neurofilament light chain in central nervous system tissues correlate with their elevated levels in cerebrospinal fluid in preclinical and clinical scrapie, an... Read more

3. How do chemical and molecular tools like neoglycoconjugates and natural products influence histopathology, neuroactive signaling, and therapeutic development in Neolatin contexts?

This theme explores the application of synthetic glycoconjugates to detect glycobiological interactions in tissue and the pharmacological potential of natural compounds such as neoechinulins and cannabigerol on cellular signaling pathways. It also includes advances in chemical synthesis of bioactive marine natural products. Delineating these molecular tools and natural products informs innovative diagnostics and treatments relevant to Neolatin biomedical and histological studies.

Key finding: This review contextualizes the synthesis and application of neoglycoconjugates as histochemical probes to localize sugar receptors in tissues, enabling reverse lectin histochemistry. The approach provides high specificity and... Read more
Key finding: Comprehensive analysis of neoechinulins reveals their diverse bioactivities including radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, neuroprotective, and anticancer effects. Mechanistic insights from in vitro and in vivo... Read more
Key finding: The transcriptomic analysis of NSC-34 motor neuron-like cells treated with cannabigerol demonstrates activation of Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) pathway genes involved in cytoskeletal dynamics and axon guidance. These... Read more
Key finding: The authors report the first total synthesis of type II abyssomicins (±)-abyssomicin 2 and (±)-neoabyssomicin B via biomimetic intramolecular Diels-Alder approaches, establishing synthetic routes to complex marine polyketide... Read more
