Effects of circadian disruption via dim light at night in C57BL6/J mice on recovery after spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause long-lasting locomotor deficits, pain, and mood disorders. Anatomical and functional outcomes are exacerbated by inflammation after SCI, which causes secondary damage. One promising target […]

Synthesis, in-vitro inhibition of cyclooxygenases and in silico studies of new isoxazole derivatives.

Isoxazole belongs to the class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds. The process of developing new drugs has significantly gained attention due to inadequate pharmacokinetic and safety attributes of the available drugs. […]

Thiostrepton alleviates experimental colitis by promoting RORγt ubiquitination and modulating dysbiosis.

Thiostrepton (TST) is a natural antibiotic with pleiotropic properties. This study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic effect of TST on experimental colitis and identify its targets. The effect of TST […]

Large-scale momentary brain co-activation patterns are associated with hyperalgesia and mediate focal neurochemistry and cross-network functional connectivity in fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia has been characterized by augmented cross-network functional communication between the brain’s sensorimotor, default mode, and attentional (salience/ventral and dorsal) networks. However, the underlying mechanisms of these aberrant communication patterns […]

Depression and anxiety mediate the relationship between illness representations and perceived distress in patients with chronic pain.

Illness representations explain the individual’s perception and processing of health-related information. In a chronic condition such as persistent pain, illness representations might influence treatment adherence and outcome. This study aims […]

Description of Novel Molecular Factors in Lumbar DRGs and Spinal Cord Factors Underlying Development of Neuropathic Pain Component in the Animal Model of Osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint disorder, with pain accompanied by functional impairment, as the most pronounced clinical symptom. Currently used pharmacotherapy involves symptomatic treatment that do […]

The thalamic reticular nucleus-lateral habenula circuit regulates depressive-like behaviors in chronic stress and chronic pain.

Chronic stress and chronic pain are two major predisposing factors to trigger depression. Enhanced excitatory input to the lateral habenula (LHb) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. However, […]

Resilience to Pain-Related Depression in σ Receptor Knockout Mice Is Associated with the Reversal of Pain-Induced Brain Changes in Affect-Related Genes.

Mice lacking the σ receptor chaperone (σR) are resilient to depressive-like behaviors secondary to neuropathic pain. Examining the resilience’s brain mechanisms could help develop conceptually novel therapeutic strategies. We explored […]

Fasting-mimicking diet alleviates inflammatory pain by inhibiting neutrophil extracellular traps formation and neuroinflammation in the spinal cord.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) promote neuroinflammation and, thus, central nervous system (CNS) disease progression. However, it remains unclear whether CNS-associated NETs affect pain outcomes. A fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) alleviates neurological […]

Sensory neuron-specific long noncoding RNA in small non-peptidergic dorsal root ganglion neurons selectively impairs nerve injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

Nerve injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity is one of major clinical symptoms in neuropathic pain patients. Understanding molecular mechanisms underlying this symptom is crucial for developing effective therapies. The present study was […]
