So happy this paper with the amazing Zoe Tasma, Michael Garelja, Christopher Walker, and Debbie Hay is out.

Amylin, CGRP, and the amylin receptor subunit, CTR, are expressed in the C1/2 cervical DRG. Could they potentially contribute to migraine?

#PACAP is thought to play a role in #migraine . Not much attention has been paid to its receptors' pharmacology esp to the splice variants of PAC1R (& they are a lot)

Here we discuss what's known, unanswered questions & invite researchers to consider them when studying #migraine

Studies support the role of #CGRP in #migraine , but its signaling pathway is complex & current tx target only one receptor whereas multiple receptors can be activated

Here we shine a spotlight on the CT receptor splice variants & the implications for drug design Trends in Pharmacological Sciences
