From sensation to regulation: the diverse functions of peripheral sensory nervous system by Yixiao Mei, Yixiao Mei, Yixiao Mei, Bing-Lin Zhou, Da Zhong, Xuan-Jie Zheng, Yu-Tao Deng, Lina Yu, Lina Yu, Bao-Chun Jiang, Bao-Chun Jiang, Bao-Chun Jiang

“…The release of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) by nerves, through its action on CGRP receptors in peripheral cells, constitutes a primary molecular axis for PNS regulation of organ cells, maintaining tissue homeostasis, facilitating pathological processes, and modulating innate and adaptive immunity. This review highlights the non-sensory functions of the peripheral sensory nervous system in various tissues and organs, focusing on phenotypes, molecular mechanisms and their significance, while also exploring future research directions, methodologies and potential preclinical studies aimed at targeting these pathways for the development of novel therapies.…”
