When the Davis Lab was first asked to contribute to this special edition of Peptides to celebrate the career and influence of Abba Kastin on peptide research, it felt like a daunting task. It is difficult to really understand and appreciate the influence that Abba has had, not only on a generation of peptide researchers, but also on the field of blood brain barrier (BBB) research, unless you lived it as we did. When we look back at our careers and those of our former students, one can truly see that several of Abba's papers played an influential role in the development of our personal research programs.
当戴维斯实验室首次受邀为《肽》的这一特刊撰稿,以颂扬阿巴·卡斯汀对肽研究的职业生涯及影响时,这感觉像是一项艰巨的任务。除非你像我们一样亲身经历过,否则很难真正理解和体会阿巴所产生的影响,这种影响不仅体现在一代肽研究人员身上,还体现在血脑屏障(BBB)研究领域。当我们回顾自己的职业生涯以及我们以前学生的职业生涯时,人们可以真切地看到,阿巴的几篇论文在我们个人研究项目的发展中发挥了有影响力的作用。
