The α7 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) is an essential
component in the vagus nerve-based cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway that regulates …

The cholinergic nervous system controls inflammation by inhibiting the release of
proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α from lipopolysaccharide …

Alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) is widely distributed in the nervous and
non-cholinergic immune systems. It is necessary for the cholinergic transmitter to participate …

Critical illnesses and injuries are recognized as major threats to human health, and they are
usually accompanied by uncontrolled inflammation and dysfunction of immune response …

Recent studies have demonstrated that cytokine levels and inflammation can be regulated
by specifically augmenting cholinergic signaling via the efferent vagus nerve and the α7 …

Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha7 subunit (α7nAChR) by nicotine leads to
the improved survival rate in experimental model of sepsis. Previously, we demonstrated …

Although activation of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) modulates the
response to sepsis, the role of this pathway in the development of sepsis-induced acute lung …

Nicotinic α‐7 acetylcholine receptor (nAChRα7) is a critical regulator of cholinergic anti‐
inflammatory actions in several diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome …

The immune response to infection or injury coordinates host defense and tissue repair, but
also has the capacity to damage host tissues. Recent advances in understanding protective …

The cholinergic nervous system can inhibit the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as
TNF-α from LPS-stimulated macrophages. Acetylcholine, the principal neurotransmitter of …
