Blood Plasma Markers in Depressed Mice under Chronic Social Defeat Stress

The study investigates blood plasma markers in mice subjected to chronic social defeat stress, a model for depression. It identifies specific proteins, including amyloid proteins and apolipoproteins, that are differentially expressed in depressed mice compared to controls and aggressive mice. The findings suggest a psychopathogenic role of chronic social stress, potentially predisposing individuals to neurodegenerative and psychoemotional disorders. The research highlights the potential of using peripheral biomarkers to understand the comorbidity of depression with other diseases and to develop treatment strategies.

Differential Expression of Proteins Associated with Bipolar Disorder as Identified Using the PeptideShaker Software

The study investigates the differential expression of proteins associated with bipolar disorder (BD) using the PeptideShaker software. The research highlights the challenges in diagnosing BD and the potential of proteomic studies to identify biomarkers for better diagnosis and treatment. The study identified ten proteins with significant differences in expression between BD patients and healthy individuals, with four proteins predominantly present in BD patients. The findings suggest that these proteins could play a role in the pathogenesis of BD and may serve as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and targets for therapy. The research emphasizes the importance of further studies to develop new diagnostic criteria and treatment options for BD.
