Human microglia and astrocytes constitutively express the neurokinin-1 receptor and functionally respond to substance P
BACKGROUND: The tachykinin substance P (SP) is recognized to exacerbate inflammation at peripheral sites via its target receptor, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK-1R), expressed by leukocytes. More recently, SP/NK-1R interactions have been associated with severe neuroinflammation and neuronal damage. We ha...
