1. The present study addressed the hypothesis that jugular and nodose vagal ganglia contain
the somata of functionally and anatomically distinct airway afferent fibres. 2. Anatomical …

Chronic debilitating pruritus is a cardinal feature of atopic dermatitis (AD). Little is known about
the underlying mechanisms. Antihistamines lack efficacy in treating itch in AD, suggesting …

Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis, which
have been attributed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). Intermittent hypoxia inhibits a …

Interleukin (IL)-17F is a recently described human cytokine belonging to the IL-17 gene
family, but its in vivo function remains to be determined. To this end, a full-length mouse IL-17F …

Activated T cells have been implicated in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma and
physically interact with epithelial cells in the airways. We now report that human airway epithelial …

In the vagal-sensory system, neuropeptides such as substance P and calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP) are synthesized nearly exclusively in small-diameter nociceptive type C-…

Immunohistochemistry was combined with retrograde tracing techniques to characterize the
effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on substance P (SP) producing vagal neurons …

Skin fibrotic remodeling is a major feature in human atopic dermatitis (AD). Inflammation
and tissue fibrosis are common consequences of Th2 responses. Elevated IL-13 and thymic …

Two major types of nociceptors have been described in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). In
comparison, little is known about the vagal nociceptor subtypes. The vagus nerves provide much …
