The NPY Family of Peptides in Immune Disorders, Inflammation, Angiogenesis, and Cancer
Recent research indicates that the immune system and inflammatory reactions are governed and regulated by powerful neuronal mediators derived from the central and peripheral nervous system. The NPY family of peptides is a diverse group of neuropeptides that acts via multiple receptors, Y1-Y5, which...
