Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is synthesized by diverse tissues, and its processing produces several fragments, each with apparently distinct autocrine and paracrine bioactivities. In bone, PTHrP appears to modulate bone...
Recent studies have reported that the "cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway" regulates peripheral inflammatory responses via alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (alpha7 nAChRs) and that acetylcholine and nicotine regulate the expression of proinflammatory...
Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) plays a major role in coordinating stress responses. We aimed to test whether blocking endogenous CRF activity can prevent the stress-induced dilation of intercellular spaces in esophageal...
Present study demonstrated that fibrillar beta-amyloid peptide (fAbeta(1-42)) induced ATP release, which in turn activated NADPH oxidase via the P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in fAbeta(1-42)-treated microglia...
