Introduction: What they say  A study from Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology Department, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, United States shows that “Dnmt3a is an epigenetic mediator of adipose insulin resistance.” This research paper was published, in the 1 Nov 2017 issue of the journal “Elife”, by Prof.Kang S, You D and others. What we say: […]

Mechanistic insights into how Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (PHM27/VIP) attenuates pain: PHM27/VIP, a peptide hormone consisting of 28 amino acids that promotes contractility, vasodilation, glycogenosis, arterial blood pressure and others, increases the expression of PD-L1, attenuates acute and chronic pain, and suppresses mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity and inhibits nociceptive neuron excitability via up-regulation of its target gene, 10/May/2019, 6.21 am

Introduction:What they say: A recent study from Institute of Neurobiology, Institutes of Brain Science and State Key Laboratory of Medical Neurobiology, Collaborative Innovation Center for Brain Science, Fudan University, Shanghai, China; and Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, US shows that “PD-L1 inhibits acute and chronic pain by suppressing nociceptive neuron […]
