We explored muscle–brain cross-talk and discovered that the muscle-derived cathepsin B (a myokine) plays a key role in improving behavioral and neurogenic deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
Muscle Cathepsin B Treatment Improves Behavioral and Neurogenic Deficits in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Targeting muscle with Cathepsin B (Ctsb) to treat the AD mouse brain. In this study, an AAV-vector-mediated approach, utilized to express Ctsb in muscle, prevented mnemonic and neurogenic deficits an...

5,562 proteins were found to have tissue-specific enrichment across 32 human tissues.

◼️ The majority of them (3,088) are enriched at the protein but not RNA level.

🧠 The brain hosts the largest number of proteins that are only enriched at the protein level but not RNA level.

Proteomics of body fluids like saliva offers immense potential for biomarker discovery, as saliva is easy to collect, non-invasive, and rich in secreted factors.

Using a 21-minute MS method, we identified >4500 proteins highlighting saliva's untapped potential for diagnostics.
First post on this platform.

Excited to our manuscript where we used cutting-edge proteomics to map human & bacterial proteomes in saliva, revealing signatures of #Type2Diabetes
