Inducible urticaria taxonomy highlights cholinergic urticaria as heat-triggered whealing provoked by exercise, stress, spicy foods, or hot bathing, with pathophysiology distinct from acute/chronic ...

Scientists at Newcastle University's Neural Circuits Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers at the Blue Brain Project (EPFL, Switzerland) and leading institutions in Spain, have published a ...

Different receptors respond to different neurotransmitters or hormones, such as adrenaline involved in the fight-or-flight response, or dopamine linked to reward and motivation. Both the receptors ...

A signaling pathway best known for shaping the brain before birth also helps govern how adults learn, adapt, and persist in their behavior, according to new research co-led by Andreas H. Kottmann, ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are incretin analogues that promote glucose-mediated insulin release and are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. GLP-1 receptor ...

The dysregulation of cross-talk between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the immune system is closely linked to the development of autoimmune diseases. This study used vitiligo as a model to ...

Respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis remain critical global health challenges, necessitating the development of novel therapeutics ...

Scientists captured six high-resolution “snapshots” showing how opioids activate — and how antidotes like Narcan block — a key brain receptor that controls pain and addiction. The study provides the ...

Cannabis, once a symbol of rebellion and counterculture, is now one of the most commonly used recreational substances. The plant’s primary psychoactive compounds, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...
