Mother Nature Network It's called natriuretic polypeptide b, abbreviated as Nppb, and it's part of an interesting system that connects the heart to the spinal column to the brain and to every little twitch and itch on our skin. The NIH scientists examined the Nppb molecule ...
NPR (blog) It's a neurotransmitter called natriuretic polypeptide B, or Nppb. Researchers at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research wondered what it was doing in nerve cells. To find out, they created a mouse that didn't make Nppb in its body.
TheBlaze.com The discovery was made in mice studies where the nerve cell that is associated with the molecule, called natriuretic polypeptide b (Nppb), was removed. When the nerve cell was absent from the mice, the scientists found they didn't respond to a variety ...
