Neuronal pathways in tendon healing and tendinopathy : update [PDF]
The regulatory mechanisms involved in tendon homeostasis and repair are not fully understood. Accumulating data, however, demonstrate that the nervous system, in addition to afferent (sensory) functions, through efferent neuronal pathways plays an active

Identification of dynorphin a from zebrafish: A comparative study with mammalian dynorphin A
We report the cloning and molecular characterization of the zfPDYN. The complete open reading frame for this propeptide is comprised in two exons that are localized on chromosome 23. zfPDYN cDNA codes for a polypeptide of 252 amino acids that contains the consensus sequences for four opioid peptides: an Ile-enkephalin, the neo-endorphins, dynorphin A ...

Effects of Inflammatory Mediators on Gut Sensititvity
Over the past decade, attention has been paid to the role of visceral sensitivity in the pathophysiology of functional bowel disorders, especially irritable bowel syndrome, and visceral hypersensitivity is the most widely accepted mechanism responsible ...

A novel non-Opioid binding site for endomorphin-1 [PDF]
Endomorphins are natural amidated opioid tetrapeptides with the following structure: Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2 (endomorphin-1),and Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2 (endomorphin-2).

Exposure to chronic mild stress prevents kappa opioid-mediated reinstatement of cocaine and nicotine place preference [PDF]
Stress increases the risk of drug abuse, causes relapse to drug seeking, and potentiates the rewarding properties of both nicotine and cocaine. Understanding the mechanisms by which stress regulates the rewarding properties of drugs of abuse provides ...

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

This study introduces and investigates different‐sex gonad transplants in a mouse model of gender‐affirming hormone therapy. Ovaries and testes implanted into gonadectomized adults exhibit gametogenesis and steroidogenesis independent of the sex of the host.

Role of Opioid Ligands in the Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Endogenous opioid peptides – enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphins – are located in specific sites of the brain, the spinal cord, the autonomic ganglia and the enteric nervous system.
