The Expression of Neuropeptides in Pulpitis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuropeptides play key roles in the inflammatory, nociceptive and reparative processes of the dental pulp. Their upregulation has been frequently observed in inflamed pulps, suggesting potential diagnostic value supporting a role for neurogenic inflammation in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Tachykinin receptors in GtoPdb v.2025.3 [PDF]

Tachykinin receptors (provisional nomenclature as recommended by NC-IUPHAR [91]) are activated by the endogenous peptides substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA; previously known as substance K, neurokinin α, neuromedin L), neurokinin B (NKB ...

Leukocyte Recruitment to Peritoneal Cavity of Rats Following Formalin Injection: Role of Tachykinin Receptors

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
The aim of this work was to verify whether formalin would induce leukocyte recruitment following intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection in rats. Formalin (1.25 – 2.5%) induced cell recruitment, which was concentration- and time-dependent (0 – 24 h).

Identification and Functional Analysis of G Protein-Coupled Receptors in 20-Hydroxyecdysone Signaling From the Helicoverpa armigera Genome

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane receptors in animals and humans, which transmit various signals from the extracellular environment into cells.

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Functional and molecular characterization of Tachykinins and tachykinin receptors in the mouse uterus

, 2005
The aim of this study was to analyze the function and expression of tachykinins, tachykinin receptors, and neprilysin (NEP) in the mouse uterus. A previous study showed that the uterotonic effects of substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Anatomical and functional mapping of vagal nociceptive sensory nerve subsets innervating the mouse lower airways by intersectional genetics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We used an intersectional approach with recombinase‐expressing mice and adeno‐associated virus to map and modulate distinct nociceptive afferents in the vagal ganglia. TRPV1+P2X2+ neurons resided in the nodose ganglion (N), innervated the lungs (many projected into the alveoli) but not the trachea, and projected to the nucleus ...

Analysis of the expression of tachykinins and tachykinin receptors in the rat uterus during early pregnancy [PDF]

, 2015
data showed that treatment of rats with a tachykinin NK3R antagonist caused a reduction of litter size. In the present study, we analyzed the expression of tachykinins and tachykinin receptors in the rat uterus during early pregnancy.
