Sample Collection in Clinical Proteomics – Proteolytic Activity Profile of Serum and Plasma
We utilized the platform to ascertain the impact of three commonly used anticoagulants (EDTA, heparin, and citrate) on the proteolytic activity profile of plasma and serum collected from a healthy…

Permeability Enhancing Lipid-Based Co-Solvent and SEDDS Formulations of SQ641, an Antimycobacterial Agent
The objective of this study was to develop an oral preclinical liquid formulation of SQ641 and to determine the permeability across rat intestinal tissue by Ussing chamber.

Design and Synthesis of Molecular Probes for the Determination of the Target of the Anthelmintic Drug Praziquantel
In this Letter, we report an efficient protocol for the small-scale separation of enantiomers of 2 (hydrolyzed PZQ) using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC).

Design of a Peptide Inhibitor of Tyrosine Kinase 2
The development of antisense peptide inhibitors is a relatively unexplored area of research, and here we investigate inhibitory peptides specific for the Janus-associated kinase (JAK) family member, tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2).

GABAB Agonism Promotes Sleep and Reduces Cataplexy in Murine Narcolepsy
We evaluated the effects of chronic administration of GHB and the GABA B agonist R -baclofen ( R -BAC) on arousal state and cataplexy in two models of narcolepsy: orexin/ataxin-3…

The Adaptor Protein SAP Regulates Type II NKT-Cell Development, Cytokine Production, and Cytotoxicity against Lymphoma
Here, using a type II NKT-cell TCR transgenic mouse model, we demonstrated that CD1d-expressing hematopoietic cells, but not thymic epithelial cells, meditate efficient selection of type II NKT cells.

Poor Autonomic Nervous System Functioning During Sleep in Recently Detoxified Alcohol-Dependent Men and Women
We investigated nighttime ANS functioning, and the relation between ANS activity and severity of alcohol dependence in chronic alcoholism.

Conditional Ablation of Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons: A New Mouse Model for the Study of Narcolepsy and Orexin System Function
The sleep disorder narcolepsy results from loss of hypothalamic orexin/hypocretin neurons. Although narcolepsy onset is usually postpubertal, current mouse models involve loss of either orexin peptides or orexin neurons from…

Synchrony of Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Insular-Striatal Activation Predicts Ambiguity Aversion in Individuals with Low Impulsivity
To test how dACC functional network connectivity would be modulated by uncertainty and differ between individuals, 24 healthy participants underwent functional MRI in 3 sequential runs: 1 resting-state and 2…
