180-189 / 189 results research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Aligning Stem Cell Models and Postmortem Studies to Query Striatal Neurodevelopment in Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia risk genes may affect early brain development, contributing to the disease.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Research Techniques Made Simple: Optical Clearing and Three-Dimensional Volumetric Imaging of Skin Biopsies
3D imaging of skin biopsies offers better accuracy but is time-consuming and can't clear melanin.
research Is Dutasteride a Therapeutic Alternative for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?
Dutasteride, usually used for prostate issues and hair loss, could potentially treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more testing is needed.
research ELife Assessment: Touch Receptor End-Organ Innervation and Function Require Sensory Neuron Expression of the Transcription Factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Synaptic-Like Vesicles and Candidate Transduction Channels in Mechanosensory Terminals
SLVs help maintain muscle stretch sensitivity and could aid in treating hypertension and muscle spasticity.
research Editorial: Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapy for Regenerative Medicine
