Objectives: Bacterial musculoskeletal infections (MSKIs) can be challenging to diagnose. We compared the accuracy of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide which is transcribed from the same gene as procalcitonin, to procalcitonin for the...
Sensory innervation regulates lung physiology and pathology, but its role in lung cancer is poorly understood. We show that lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression locally amplifies nociceptive sensory innervation and activation, which drives the release...
Common dermatological disorders are characterized by inflammation and severe itching, which represent a significant clinical challenge. The mechanisms by which nociceptive sensory neurons (nociceptors) integrate peripheral signals to modulate inflammation...
GGGGCC (G4C2) repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Toxicity is thought to result from the accumulation of either repeat RNAs and/or dipeptide repeat proteins...

Many species regenerate lost body parts following amputation. Most limb regeneration research has focused on the immediate injury site. Meanwhile, body-wide injury responses remain largely unexplored but may be critical for regeneration. Here, we...
Deciphering multicellular interactions is essential to understanding immune-mediated diseases. Myeloid cells can coordinate inflammatory responses and are central to immune crosstalk with neuronal, epithelial, and stromal cells. Here, we show that myeloid...
Objective: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is densely innervated, forming a critical network that secretes neuropeptides essential for gut function. Tumour cells are highly adaptive and exploit their microenvironment, including nerves, to support and...
Influenza viruses are a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Although vagal TRPV1 nociceptive sensory neurons are known to mediate defenses against harmful agents, including pathogens, their function in lung antiviral defenses remains unclear...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, microgliosis, and neuroinflammation. While pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in ALS, the...
It is increasingly clear that the nervous system and immune system share a common molecular dialogue for intersystem communication. One of the key mechanisms of this communication is via neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Diverse neuronal subtypes...
