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

N-Arachidonoyl Dopamine Modulates Acute Systemic Inflammation via Nonhematopoietic TRPV1. [PDF]
N-Arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) is an endogenous lipid that potently activates the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), which mediates pain and thermosensation. NADA is also an agonist of cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2.

The Role of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in High‐Altitude Headache: A Prospective Field Study
ABSTRACT Objective High‐altitude headache (HAH) is a common neurological condition associated with rapid ascent to high altitude. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HAH remain incompletely understood. Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide implicated in migraine pathophysiology, may play a key role in the pathophysiology of ...
