Differential proteomic expression in non-functional pituitary neuroendocrine tumours and pituitary glands.

Introduction: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs) are common accounting for 10 to 25 % of all intracranial tumours. This project describes the feasibility of developing a novel membrane-based biomarker that could be used for fluorescent guided surgery. The aim was to catalogue the differential expression of membrane proteins between non-functional PitNETs and pituitary glands.

Proteotransciptomics of the Most Popular Host Sea Anemone Reveals Not All Toxin Genes Expressed by Tentacles Are Recruited into Its Venom Arsenal.

While the unique symbiotic relationship between anemonefishes and sea anemones is iconic, it is still not fully understood how anemonefishes can withstand and thrive within the venomous environment of their host sea anemone. In this study, we used a proteotranscriptomics approach to elucidate the proteinaceous toxin repertoire from the most common host sea anemone, . Although 1251 different toxin or toxin-like RNA transcripts were expressed in tentacles (0.

Proteomic profiling of paired human liver homogenate and tissue derived extracellular vesicles.

Advances in technologies to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) and detect/quantify their cargo underpin the novel potential of these circulating particles as a liquid biopsy to understand physiology and disease. One organ of particular interest in terms of utilizing EVs as a liquid biopsy is the liver. The extent to which EVs originating from the liver reflect the functional status of this organ remains unknown.
