Neuromedin U promotes immune cell activation and cytokine production, and contributes to several inflammatory disorders. The inflammatory roles of NmU have been indicated to be neurogenic or neuron‐independent. Understanding the potential roles of NmU in immunity and inflammation could be beneficial for the development of novel therapies for NmU‐involving diseases.
