A systematic review and meta-analysis of thigmotactic behaviour in the open field test in rodent models associated with persistent pain.

Thigmotaxis is an innate predator avoidance behaviour of rodents. To gain insight into how injury and disease models, and analgesic drug treatments affect thigmotaxis, we performed a systematic review and […]

Human Mast Cells Upregulate Cathepsin B, a Novel Marker of Itch in Psoriasis.

Mast cells (MCs) contribute to skin inflammation. In psoriasis, the activation of cutaneous neuroimmune networks commonly leads to itch. To dissect the unique contribution of MCs to the cutaneous neuroinflammatory […]

Mocetinostat activates Krüppel-like factor 4 and protects against tissue destruction and inflammation in osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder, and disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs) represent a major need in OA management. Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a central transcription factor upregulating […]

Prevalence of chronic pain and chronic widespread pain among subjects with heart failure in the general population: The HUNT study.

Pain in chronic heart failure (HF) is a significant but often unrecognized symptom. Characteristics of pain in subjects with HF are largely undescribed. The study aimed to address a knowledge […]

Morphine induces HADHA succinylation, while HADHA desuccinylation alleviates morphine tolerance by influencing autophagy.

Morphine tolerance is an important factor in unsatisfactory analgesia. HADHA is a crucial enzyme in fatty acid β-oxidation. In this study, we investigated the potential significance of HADHA in a […]

IL-31RA and TRPV1 Expression in Atopic Dermatitis Induced with Trinitrochlorobenzene in Nc/Nga Mice.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease. Interleukin 31 (IL-31), a novel cytokine in AD, causes pruritus, typically characteristic of AD patients. The transient receptor potential vanilloid […]

The Anti-Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (Anti-CGRP) Antibody Fremanezumab Reduces Trigeminal Neurons Immunoreactive to CGRP and CGRP Receptor Components in Rats.

Treatment with the anti-CGRP antibody fremanezumab is successful in the prevention of chronic and frequent episodic migraine. In preclinical rat experiments, fremanezumab has been shown to reduce calcitonin gene-related peptide […]

Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism Predicts the Outcome of Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis Patients.

Better knowledge about the possible role of genetic factors in modulating the response to multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment, including rehabilitation, known to promote neural plasticity, could improve the standard of […]

Ozone attenuates chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy via upregulating the AMPK-SOCS3 axis.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a severe adverse reaction to chemotherapeutics, which seriously affects the outcome of chemotherapy and patients’ quality of life. Although it is commonly seen, it lacks […]

Employing the sustained-release properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles to reveal a novel mechanism of sodium-hydrogen exchanger 1 in neuropathic pain.

Neuropathic pain is caused by injury or disease of the somatosensory system, and its course is usually chronic. Several studies have been dedicated to investigating neuropathic pain-related targets; however, little […]
