Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an important adverse effect of treatment with oxaliplatin (OXA). We have developed PEGylated nanoliposomal oxaliplatin (OXA-LIP) and tested its activity in an animal model of […]
Learn More >Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are anticancer drugs consisting of a monoclonal antibody, targeting selective tumor antigens, to which has been frequently associated a highly potent cytotoxic agent, the monomethyl auristatin E […]
Learn More >Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an important pain treatment modality. We hypothesized that a novel pulsed-ultrahigh-frequency SCS (pUHF-SCS) could safely and effectively inhibit spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain in rats.
Learn More >In search of new dual-acting histamine H/sigma-1 receptor ligands, we designed a series of compounds structurally based on highly active ligands previously studied and described by our team. However, we […]
Learn More >The deregulated spinal cord proteins induced by nerve injury are the key to neuropathic pain. Integrated transcriptome and translatome analyses can screen out deregulated proteins controlled by only post-transcriptional regulation. […]
Learn More >Neuropathic pain affects globally about 7-10% of the general population. Electroacupuncture (EA) effectively relieves neuropathic pain symptoms without causing any side effects; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We […]
Learn More >Chronic heavy alcohol use is known to cause neurological complications such as peripheral neuropathy. Concerning the pathophysiology, few sural nerve and skin biopsy studies showed that small fibers might be […]
Learn More >Nabiximols is a commercially available cannabinoid buccal spray containing 2.7 mg Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 2.5 mg cannabidiol (CBD) per spray. It is approved by Health Canada for adults with cancer […]
Learn More >Ephrins are protein ligands that act through the tyrosine kinase receptor family, Eph receptors. The role of ephrin/Eph in the critical processes involved in the development of the nervous system, […]

Tiam1 creates a painful link between dendritic spine remodeling and NMDA receptors.
Dendritic spine remodeling in the dorsal horn is associated with many chronic pain models. Li et al. demonstrate that Tiam1 links Rac1-mediated spine changes to NMDA receptor activity to promote behavioral […]
