Recent advances in targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide for the treatment of menstrual migraine
. Menstrual migraine (MM) has a longer duration and higher drug resistance than non-perimenstrual migraine. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and CGRP receptors are expressed in the peripheral and central nervous systems throughout the ...

A Female-Specific Role for Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) in Rodent Pain Models
We aimed to investigate a sexually dimorphic role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in rodent models of pain. Based on findings in migraine where CGRP has a preferential pain-promoting effect in female rodents, we hypothesized that CGRP ...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a potential autoantigen for CD4 T cells in type 1 diabetes
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide with critical roles in the development of peripheral sensitization and pain. One of the CGRP family peptides, islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), is an important autoantigen in type

Salivary CGRP can monitor the different migraine phases: CGRP (in)dependent attacks
Background CGRP plays a key role in the transmission and modulation of nociceptive signals and is a critical component in the pathogenesis of migraine. Objective To assess saliva as a substrate to measure CGRP by comparing interictal levels in patients ...

Inflammatory complications of CGRP monoclonal antibodies: a case series
Background Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is expressed throughout the body and is a known mediator of migraine, exerting this biological effect through activation of trigeminovascular, meningeal and associated neuronal pathways located in close ...
