    Txnip deletions and missense alleles prolong the survival of cones in a retinitis pigmentosa mouse model

    Yunlu Xue, Yimin Zhou, Constance L Cepko
    Multiple alleles of Txnip, which can interact with several different proteins, including Hsp90AB1, were tested for their ability to prolong the survival of cone photoreceptors in diseases leading to blindness.

    Large-scale deorphanization of Nematostella vectensis neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors supports the independent expansion of bilaterian and cnidarian peptidergic systems

    Daniel Thiel, Luis Alfonso Yañez Guerra ... Gáspár Jékely
    The identification of 31 neuropeptide GPCRs in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis provides a rich resource to study peptidergic signaling in cnidarians and suggests that cnidarian and bilaterian peptidergic systems diversified independent from each other from a few ancestral systems.
