Physiological mechanisms and therapeutic targets in chronic cough

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract Cough is a vital defensive reflex that safeguards the airways; however, it can become maladaptive and pathological. Chronic cough (>8 weeks in duration) affects up to 10% of the global adult population and is associated with considerable health status impairment. The understanding of cough physiology remains limited.

Basal ganglia neuropeptides show abnormal processing associated with L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2022
L-DOPA administration is the primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) but long-term administration is usually accompanied by hyperkinetic side-effects called L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). Signaling neuropeptides of the basal ganglia are affected

Supraspinal Circuit Mechanisms Underlying Itch Processing

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Peripheral pruriceptive signals ascend from the spinal cord to the brainstem, thalamus, and cortex to encode the sensory features of itch. Parallel projections to limbic and basal ganglia circuits mediate affective and motivational components, including aversion and scratching urge.

Relationship Between Central Sensitization and Genetic Polymorphisms—A Case–Control Study in Fibromyalgia

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 6, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by widespread chronic pain, which is believed to be mediated by a state of central sensitisation (CS). Based on the hypothesis that CS itself could have genetic determinants, our aim was to further explore this pathway.

Broadening the View: Substance P and Its Metabolism in Pruritus‐Related Diseases

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 7, Page 967-979, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus is a debilitating symptom accompanying numerous inflammatory skin diseases and remains a major therapeutic challenge. Neurogenic inflammation plays a central role in its pathogenesis, with the tachykinin substance P acting as a key mediator at the interface of the nervous system, immune cells, and cutaneous tissues.

Laparoscopic resection of small bowel neuroendocrine tumors: A long‐term survival analysis

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) are rare neoplasms that often present insidiously and may be associated with mesenteric fibrosis and advanced disease at diagnosis. While open surgery has traditionally been the standard of care, the role of laparoscopic resection in patients with complex SBNET remains under evaluation.

Substance P selectively decreases paired pulse depression in the rat hippocampal slice

BMC Neuroscience, 2005
Background Although being widespread in the hippocampus, the role tachykinins play in synaptic transmission is unclear. The effect of substance P on field potentials evoked by stimulation of the Schaffer collateral-commissural fibres and recorded from ...

Role of tachykinin 1 and 4 gene-derived neuropeptides and the neurokinin 1 receptor in adjuvant-induced chronic arthritis of the mouse. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Substance P, encoded by the Tac1 gene, is involved in neurogenic inflammation and hyperalgesia via neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor activation. Its non-neuronal counterpart, hemokinin-1, which is derived from the Tac4 gene, is also a potent NK1 agonist ...
