Differences of Inflammatory Mechanisms in Asthma and COPD
Allergology International, 2009 Bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasing common diseases. The major pathogenesis of both illnesses is chronic inflammation. However, the inflammatory pattern is distinct in each disease.

Peptidomics of the agriculturally damaging larval stage of the cabbage root fly Delia radicum (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The larvae of the cabbage root fly induce serious damage to cultivated crops of the family Brassicaceae. We here report the biochemical characterisation of neuropeptides from the central nervous system and neurohemal organs, as well as regulatory ...

The role of Substance P in neurodegenerative diseases
Acta Medica Iranica, 2020 Tachykinins (TKs) are a family of neuropeptides widely distributed in the human body, especially in the nervous system. TKs have exhibited both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative properties in the central nervous system (CNS) and spinal cord.

Neurokinin-1 receptor signalling impacts bone marrow repopulation efficiency. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Tachykinins are a large group of neuropeptides with both central and peripheral activity. Despite the increasing number of studies reporting a growth supportive effect of tachykinin peptides in various in vitro stem cell systems, it remains unclear ...

Autocrine regulation of human sperm motility by tachykinins
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2010 Background We examined the presence and function of tachykinins and the tachykinin-degrading enzymes neprilysin (NEP) and neprilysin-2 (NEP2) in human spermatozoa.

Tachykinin receptors antagonism for asthma: a systematic review
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2011 Background Tachykinins substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B seem to account for asthma pathophysiology by mediating neurogenic inflammation and several aspects of lung mechanics.

Neurokinin receptors in the gastrointestinal muscle wall: cell distribution and possible roles
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 The neurokinin receptors are G-protein-linked receptors; three distinct molecules, called neurokinin-1, neurokinin-2, and neurokinin-3 receptors, have been identified.
