In the study, however, it was found that in addition to noradrenaline, these nerves also express neuropeptide Y, something previously unknown in this part of the nervous system. "When NPY is ...

A Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences researcher has received National Institutes of Health funding to gain better understanding of the neural mechanisms underpinning drug-mediated ...

Neuropeptide Y (NpY) is an important factor in neuropeptide signalling, and significantly change in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression.

This neuropeptide couples with a certain mast cell receptor (MrgprB2), causing cells to release inflammatory substances. Mast cells work like a sort of speaker system, amplifying incoming messages.

The best characterized pathways are the orexigenic neuropeptide Y/Agouti-related protein and the anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin/cocaine- and amphetamine-related transcript neurons in the ...

Scratching promotes inflammatory processes in the case of contact allergy. However, it also boosts defenses against staphylococcus aureus, according to a study in 'Science.' ...
