WormBook, 2008 The role of neuropeptides in modulating behavior is slowly being elucidated. With the sequencing of the C. elegans genome, the extent of the neuropeptide genes in C. elegans can be determined. To date, 113 neuropeptide genes encoding over 250 distinct neuropeptides have been identified.

Neuropharmacology, 2015 The acid sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels expressed throughout the nervous system. ASICs are activated during acidic pH fluctuations, and recent work suggests that they are involved in excitatory synaptic transmission. ASICs can also induce neuronal degeneration and death during pathological extracellular acidosis caused by

Magnesium-based implants: Beyond fixators
Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2017 The mystery behind magnesium-induced bone formation is revealed by linking the neuropeptide(s) from sensory nerves with the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells in the periosteum.

Peptide Cotransmitters as Dynamic, Intrinsic Modulators of Network Activity
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018 Neurons can contain both neuropeptides and “classic” small molecule transmitters. Much progress has been made in studies designed to determine the functional significance of this arrangement in experiments conducted in invertebrates and in the vertebrate

The Role of Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Regulation of Liver Functions in Health and Disease
Endocrines, 2023 The communication between brain and peripheral tissues is mediated by neuropeptides that coordinate the functions of each organ with the activities of the entire body in specific environmental conditions.

Migraine and neuropeptides [PDF]
Neuropeptides, 2015 Migraine is a common disabling neurovascular primary headache disorder. The pathomechanism is not clear, but extensive preclinical and clinical studies are ongoing. The structural basis of the leading hypothesis is the trigeminovascular system, which includes the trigeminal ganglion, the meningeal vasculature, and the distinct nuclei of the brainstem ...
