CGRP: from history to clinical application - A review [PDF]
The role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its receptor have played an important role in migraine for the last decades due to development of therapies that target their receptors at the trigeminal pain system, aiming at prevention or relief ...

Mechanical Distraction Engages a Neuro-Immune Program to Drive Regenerative Soft-Tissue Healing in Ilizarov Bone Transport. [PDF]
Ilizarov bone transport accelerates healing of soft‐tissue wounds through unclear mechanisms. In a rat model, sustained mechanical distraction elicits calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP)‐dominant sensory reinnervation, creating a niche that shifts immune cells from inflammatory to repair‐promoting states and speeds re‐epithelialization.

Preliminary evidence of long-term safety and effectiveness of anti-CGRP drugs for migraine prevention in people with comorbid epilepsy: A 52-week follow-up retrospective study. [PDF]
Abstract Migraine and epilepsy frequently coexist, but evidence on the safety of calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP)‐targeting therapies in people with epilepsy is lacking. We evaluated long‐term migraine and epilepsy outcomes in a real‐world multicenter retrospective cohort of adults with comorbid migraine and epilepsy treated with anti‐CGRP ...

CGRP-induced headache and hemodynamic response for prediction of therapy based on CGRP antagonism [PDF]
Migraine is increasingly recognized as a disorder of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway. However, other factors are involved in migraine pathophysiology such as vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and PACAP-38.

The Anti-CGRP Antibody Fremanezumab Lowers CGRP Release from Rat Dura Mater and Meningeal Blood Flow [PDF]
Monoclonal antibodies directed against the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) belong to a new generation of therapeutics that are effective in the prevention of migraine.

Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) Induces Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP)-I and Procalcitonin (Pro-CT) Production in Human Adipocytes [PDF]
Context: Increased plasma levels of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), calcitonin CT gene-related peptide (CGRP)-I, and procalcitonin (Pro-CT) are associated with obesity.

The role of ECL2 in CGRP receptor activation: a combined modelling and experimental approach [PDF]
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is a complex of a calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), which is a family B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor activity modifying protein 1.

Renal mesangium is a target for calcitonin gene-related peptide [PDF]
Rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP alpha; EC50, 1 nM) was shown to stimulate cAMP formation in cultured rat renal mesangial cells. CGRP concentration dependently (EC50, 1 nM) also inhibited contraction of mesangial cells by angiotensin II (10 nM).

Calcitonin gene products and the kidney [PDF]
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is localized in capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibres in the kidney and urogenital tract whereas calcitonin reaches the kidney through the general circulation.
