Autoantibodies against the Second Extracellular Loop of M3R Do neither Induce nor Indicate Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES:Anti-muscarinic acetylcholine type-3 receptor (anti-M3R) autoantibodies have been suggested to be pathogenic for primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and the second extracellular loop of M3R is suspected to carry a disease-promoting epitope.

Organogenesis of the exocrine gland
Morphogenesis of exocrine glands is a complex stepwise process of epithelial ingrowth, ductal elongation, ductal branching, and alveolar or acinar differentiation. Emerging from an increasing number of mouse gene knockout, dominant-negative, and antisense models is the identification of a remarkable collection of cell adhesion molecules, growth factors,

Beneficial effects of physical exercise on the exocrine pancreas
The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ critically important for intestinal digestion. Most of the pancreas consists of exocrine glands that synthesize and secrete a great majority of digestive enzymes into the pancreatic duct tributaries and on into the

Don't Sweat It: Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Reduce Sweating in a Mouse Model. [PDF]
A new galvanic skin response‐based approach offers a simple method for measuring sweating in the paws of mice. This method is used to demonstrate that cannabinoid CB1 receptors reduce baseline sweating in mice, likely via inhibition of sympathetic acetylcholine release via axonal CB1 receptors.
