Sensory Nerve‐Derived CGRP Controls Osteoclastogenesis by Limiting Macrophage Bioenergetics in Bone Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sensory nerves help bones heal. This study shows that the neuropeptide CGRP, released from sensory nerves, slows down macrophage energy production, preventing excessive bone breakdown. By revealing this nerve–immune–metabolism connection, the work provides new insight into how the body balances bone repair and opens doors to targeted treatments ...

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]

, 2017
Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

PVNCRF Neurons Regulate Migraine‐Like Allodynia by Activating CRFR2 on Spinal Trigeminal Caudalis Glutamatergic Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Paraventricular CRF neurons in the hypothalamus project to glutamatergic neurons of the spinal trigeminal caudal nucleus, enhancing neuronal activation and CRFR2 signaling. This pathway increases CRF release and excitatory drive, promoting central sensitization and migraine‐related behaviors. Targeting the PVN–SP5C circuit provides a potential strategy

Possible involvement of neuropeptide and neurotransmitter receptors in Adenomyosis

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2021
Background Accumulating data indicate that sensory nerve derived neuropeptides such as substance P and calcitonin gene related-protein (CGRP) can accelerate the progression of endometriosis via their respective receptors, so can agonists to their ...

Activation of Neuropeptide FF Receptors by Kisspeptin Receptor Ligands [PDF]

ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2010
Kisspeptin is a member of the RFamide neuropeptide family that is implicated in gonadotropin secretion. Because kisspeptin-GPR54 signaling is implicated in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction, GPR54 ligands represent promising therapeutic agents against endocrine secretion disorders.

Postsynaptic Complexin Mediates Constitutive Exocytosis of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Beyond its established presynaptic role, complexin is identified as a postsynaptic regulator of neurotransmitter receptor trafficking. By promoting constitutive and activity‐dependent exocytosis of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, complexin controls spontaneous synaptic signaling at the C.

Discovery and functional characterisation of a luqin-type neuropeptide signalling system in a deuterostome

Scientific Reports, 2018
Neuropeptides are diverse and evolutionarily ancient regulators of physiological/behavioural processes in animals. Here we have investigated the evolution and comparative physiology of luqin-type neuropeptide signalling, which has been characterised ...

Phylogenetic investigation of peptide hormone and growth factor receptors in five dipteran genomes

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Peptide hormones and growth factors bind to membrane receptors and regulate a myriad of processes in insects and other metazoans. The evolutionary relationships among characterized and un-characterized (orphan) receptors can provide insights into ...

Bioinspired Engineering of Streamlined Skeletal Interoception: Neural Bioprinted Piezoelectric Scaffolds for Neuro‐Vascularized Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops neural bioprinted piezoelectric scaffolds which construct local “sensor‐effector” circuit, inspired by the skeletal interoception system. Upon US stimulation sensing and mechanoelectrical coupling by PLLA nanofibers, the incorporated DRG neurons effect through Ca2+ influx‐induced enhanced secretion and expression of CGRP.
