α7- and α9-Containing Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in the Functioning of Immune System and in Pain
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) present as many different subtypes in the nervous and immune systems, muscles and on the cells of other organs. In the immune system, inflammation is regulated via the vagus nerve through the activation of the non-neuronal α7 nAChR subtype, affecting the pr...
