Researchers have shown that tolvaptan, an existing kidney medicine, can stabilise nearly all mutated variants of a critical ...

Image of the mouse brain showing vasopressin-producing neurons (green) in the BNST region. In red, excitatory connections contacting these cells can be seen. The findings provide the first detailed ...

Modulation of the vasopressin pathway may be a promising new target for improving social and communication deficits in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), new research suggests. Results from ...

Lower doses of initial vasopressin were associated with lower mortality when used as an adjunct in patients with septic shock, according to a review of three recent studies. "Patients with septic ...

A study on the gene editing breakthrough titled "CRISPR-Cas9 editing of the arginine-vasopressin V1a receptor produces paradoxical changes in social behavior in Syrian hamsters" has been published in ...

Cranial diabetes insipidus is a rare condition that results in persistent thirst and frequent urination. It occurs due to problems with arginine vasopressin (AVP), a hormone that plays a role in ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

A team of researchers has identified for the first time the mechanism linking a mutation in the Shank3 gene with alterations in social behavior. Using a mouse model carrying this autism-associated ...
