Hibernating mammals such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel () experience significant reductions in oxidative metabolism and body temperature when entering a state known as torpor. Animals entering or exiting torpor...

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based peptidomics methods allow for the detection and identification of many peptides in a complex biological mixture in an untargeted manner. Quantitative peptidomics approaches allow for comparisons...

Hibernation in the thirteen-lined ground squirrel () takes place over 4-6 months and is characterized by multiday bouts of hypothermic torpor (5-7 °C core body temperature) that are regularly interrupted...

Prohormone-derived neuropeptides act as cell-cell signaling molecules to mediate a wide variety of biological processes in the animal brain. Mass spectrometry-based peptidomic experiments are valuable approaches to gain insight into...

Cell-cell signaling peptides (e.g., peptide hormones, neuropeptides) are among the largest class of cellular transmitters and regulate a variety of physiological processes. To identify and quantify the relative abundances of...

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic and debilitating pain disorder of the bladder and urinary tract with poorly understood etiology. A definitive diagnosis of IC/BPS can be challenging...

Intercellular signaling events mediated by neuropeptides and peptide hormones represent important targets for both basic science and drug discovery. For many bioactive peptides, the protein receptors that transmit information across...
