Expression of the Antimicrobial Peptide Piscidin 1 and Neuropeptides in Fish Gill and Skin : A Potential Participation in Neuro-Immune Interaction
Zaccone, Giacomo; Capillo, Gioele; Fernandes, Jorge Manuel de Oliveira; Kiron, Viswanath; Lauriano, Eugenia Rita; Alesci, Alessio; Cascio, Patrizia Lo; Guerrera, Maria Cristina; Kuciel, Michal; Zuwala, Krystyna; Icardo, Jose Manuel; Ishimatsu, Atsushi; Murata, Ryosuke; Amagai, Takafumi; Germanà, Antonino; Aragona, Marialuisa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are found widespread in nature and possess antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities. Due to their multifunctional properties, these peptides are a focus of growing body of interest and ... -

Neuroepithelial cells (NECs) and mucous cells express a variety of neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter receptors in the gill and respiratory air-sac of the catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Siluriformes, Heteropneustidae) : a possible role in local immune defence
Lauriano, Eugenia Rita; Capillo, Gioele; Icardo, Jose Manuel; Fernandes, Jorge Manuel de Oliveira; Kiron, Viswanath; Kuciel, Michal; Zuwala, Krystyna; Guerrera, Maria Christina; Aragona, Marialuisa; Germanà, Antonino; Zaccone, Giacomo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Heteropneustes fossilis is an air-breathing teleost inhabiting environments with very poor O2 conditions, and so it has evolved to cope with hypoxia. In the gills and respiratory air-sac, the sites for O2 sensing and the ...
