Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay increases targeted mRNA degradation and has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression in neurons. We hypothesized that nonsense-mediated μ opioid receptor mRNA decay in the […]
Learn More >With the current evolution in the artificial intelligence technology, more biomimetic functions are essential to execute increasingly complicated tasks and respond to challenging work environments. Therefore, an artificial nociceptor plays […]
Learn More >The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) consists of a heterogeneous population of neurons that respond to painful stimuli, and our understanding of how different pain models alter these specific mPFC cell […]
Learn More >Although activation of astrocytes is critical in developing neuropathic pain (NP) following nerve injury, the underlying mechanisms of NP and therapeutic management for NP are still vague. Importantly, the decreases […]
Learn More >Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been identified as one of the predominant factors leading to persistent low back pain and disability in middle-aged and elderly people. Dysregulation of Prostaglandin E2 […]
Learn More >The analgesic effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, have been widely promoted. Unfortunately, animal research is limited by the use of high doses and pain-evoked tests. […]
Learn More >Morphine diminishes pain, but its long-term use is compromised by tolerance and hyperalgesia. Studies implicate δ receptors, β-arrestin2 and Src kinase in tolerance. We examined whether these proteins are also […]
Learn More >Anxiety-related behaviors without observation of generalized pain in a mouse model of endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent, inflammatory disease, characterized by the presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is associated with moderate to severe pelvic and abdominal […]
Learn More >Neurotensin receptor 2 (NTS) is a well-known mediator of central opioid-independent analgesia. Seminal studies have highlighted NTS overexpression in a variety of tumors including prostate cancer, pancreas adenocarcinoma, and breast […]
Learn More >P2X receptors are a family of ATP-gated cation channels comprising seven subtypes in mammals, which play key roles in nerve transmission, pain sensation and inflammation. The P2X4 receptor in particular […]
