Biochem/physiol Actions
Urocortin II is a CRF-related neuropeptide having high affinity for CRF2 receptor. It stimulates protein kinase A through CRF2 receptor and increases the contractility in rabbit ventricular myocytes. It also facilitates pro-inflammatory effects in human intestinal cells through corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2α.

Urocortin II (UcnII) is a neuropeptide that binds with high affinity to the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2 (CRHR2) in peripheral tissues. UcnII is synthesised in the intestine, but its role in human intestinal inflammation is largely unknown. Responses of human

Urocortin II (UcnII), a peptide of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family, exerts profound actions on the cardiovascular system. Direct effects of UcnII on adult cardiomyocytes have not been evaluated before. Our aim was to characterize functional effects of UcnII on

Impaired ventilatory capacity and diaphragm muscle weakness are prominent features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with strong evidence of attendant systemic and muscle inflammation. We performed a 2-week intervention in young wild-type and mdx mice, consisting of either injection of saline

What is the central question of this study? We previously reported impaired upper airway dilator muscle function in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Our aim was to assess the effect of blocking interleukin-6 receptor signalling and

Aberrant microglia activity is associated with many neurological and psychiatric disorders, yet our knowledge about the pathological mechanisms is incomplete. Here, we describe a genetically defined microglia sublineage in mice which has the ability to suppress obsessive compulsion and anxiety symptoms. These
