Expression of corticotropin-releasing factor and urocortins in the normal and **Schistosoma mansoni**-infected mouse ileum University of Antwerp
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urocortins (UCNs) are important ligands in the CRF signaling pathways, which are most known for their role in the hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal stress axis. However, peripheral CRF signaling also has profound effects on gastrointestinal functions. Although the murine animal model is highly relevant for the exploration of this complexly balanced pathway via genetic manipulation, little is known about the ...
