Changing protein kinase levels in pituitary cells affects calcium flow and beta-endorphin release.
research A Counter Gradient of Activin A and Follistatin Instructs the Timing of Hair Cell Differentiation in the Murine Cochlea
Activin A speeds up ear hair cell differentiation, while Follistatin slows it down.
research The Beneficial Effects of Chick Embryo Extract Preconditioning on Hair Follicle Stem Cells: A Promising Strategy to Generate Schwann Cells
Chick embryo extract helps rat hair follicle stem cells potentially turn into Schwann cells, important for the nervous system.
research Neurotoxins Acting at Synaptic Sites: A Brief Review on Mechanisms and Clinical Applications
Neurotoxins can affect neurotransmitter release and have potential in treating muscle, pain, and cancer conditions, but more research is needed on how they work.
research The Itchy Scalp: Scratching for an Explanation
Scalp itching is common and hard to diagnose due to the complex nerve structure of the scalp.
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 The Multisystem Impact of Long COVID: A Comprehensive Review
Long COVID causes a wide range of long-lasting symptoms that change over time and are hard to diagnose and treat.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Minoxidil Is a Potential Neuroprotective Drug for Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Minoxidil may protect nerves and improve hair quality during paclitaxel treatment.
research Responses of Hair Follicle–Associated Structures to Loss of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Combined Drug Triads for Synergistic Neuroprotection in Retinal Degeneration
Using three different drugs together may better treat eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
research Neuropathic Pruritus: An Underrecognized and Often Misdiagnosed and Difficult to Treat Medical Condition
Neuropathic pruritus is a commonly overlooked and wrongly diagnosed type of chronic itching that is hard to treat.
research Correlation of Monosynaptic Field Potentials Evoked by Single Action Potentials in Single Primary Afferent Axons and Their Bouton Distributions in the Dorsal Horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research The Multifaceted Functions of TRPV4 and Calcium Oscillations in Tissue Repair
TRPV4 helps cells repair tissue and reduce scarring by controlling calcium levels.
research Stem Cell-Derived Motor Neurons from Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy Patients
The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.
research Nerve Dependence in Tissue, Organ, and Appendage Regeneration
Nerves are crucial for the regeneration of various body parts in many animals.
research Introduction to Hair-Follicle-Associated Pluripotent Stem Cells
HAP stem cells can repair nerves, grow hair follicle nerves, and become heart muscle cells, making them useful for regenerative medicine.
research Montagna Symposium 2016: The Skin, Our Sensory Organ for Itch, Pain, Touch, and Pleasure
