Single-cell RNA sequencing defines disease-specific differences between chronic nodular prurigo and atopic dermatitis.

Chronic nodular prurigo (CNPG) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is maintained by a chronic itch-scratch cycle likely rooted in neuro-immunological dysregulation. This condition may be associated with atopy […]

FSLLRY-NH, a protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) antagonist, activates mas-related G protein-coupled receptor C11 (MrgprC11) to induce scratching behaviors in mice.

Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2), a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), plays a significant role in pathophysiological conditions such as inflammation. A synthetic peptide SLIGRL-NH (SLIGRL) can activate PAR2, while […]
