Published in 2019 at "Current medicinal chemistry"

DOI: 10.2174/0929867324666171005110620

Abstract: Specific peptide molecules classified as hormones, neuropeptides and cytokines are involved in intercellular signaling regulating various physiological processes in all organs and tissues. This justifies the peptidergic signaling as an attractive pharmacological target. Recently, a… read more here.
