research A subpopulation of itch‐sensing neurons marked by Ret and somatostatin expression
Scientists found a specific group of itch-sensing nerve cells in mice important for feeling itch but not for sensing heat or touch.
research Identification of an osteopontin-derived peptide that binds neuropilin-1 and activates vascular repair responses and angiogenesis
FOL-026 peptide may help hair growth and cardiovascular health by improving blood flow and cell functions.
research Inhibiting Biosynthesis and/or Metabolism of Progestins in the Ventral Tegmental Area Attenuates Lordosis of Rats in Behavioural Oestrus
Blocking certain brain processes reduces mating behavior in female rats.
research ς1Receptor-Related Neuroactive Steroids Modulate Cocaine-Induced Reward
