## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the role of neuropeptides and their receptors in various physiological processes and disease states, including stress, anxiety, depression, immune modulation, and cardiovascular function. It covers a wide range of neuropeptides such as opioid receptors, calcitonin gene-related peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, and vasoactive intestinal peptide. |
