Does anyone know why there is a cockroach peptidomics paper every couple of years? New one!

 

I won't lie, I'm not even going to go past the first page on this one. I was at Johns Hopkins off and on for like 20 years. I have some cat sized cockroach related psychological trauma I've submerged that I'm not about to bring to the surface because someone decided to put an actual picture of how they get the neuropeptides out of the cockroach. 

However, every couple of years someone does peptidomics on cockroaches and I do not know why. I probably won't ever know. Hopefully it's some important model or something. I looked and it doesn't appear to be the same group. 

I'm sure they did a great job on this or it wouldn't get published in JPR. If you want to read it, here is the link. Have fun. 

Oh yeah, and I didn't hallucinate this. I just searched "cockroach peptidomics" in JPR's search bar. 2 there in the last 5 years alone! 

Gross.
