Here we studied whether the sex-related difference in mechanical hypersensitivity induced by neuropathy is associated with the discharge rate of medullary pain control neurons. We performed experiments in male and […]
Learn More >Decades of research into chronic pain has deepened our understanding of the cellular mechanisms behind this process. However, a failure to consider the biological variable of sex has limited the […]
Learn More >Chronic pain is often associated with cognitive decline, which could influence the quality of the patient’s life. Recent studies have suggested that Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is crucial for memory […]
Learn More >A comorbidity of chronic pain is sleep disturbance. Here, we identify a dual-functional ensemble that regulates both pain-like behaviour induced by chronic constrictive injury or complete Freund’s adjuvant, and sleep […]
Learn More >Chronic pain affects nearly 20% of the US population. It is a leading cause of disability globally, and associated with a heightened risk for suicide. The role of the central […]
Learn More >Chronic morphine exposure causes the development of addictive behaviors, accompanied by an increase in neuroinflammation in the central nervous system. While previous researches have shown that astrocytes contribute to brain […]
Learn More >Menthol-a natural organic compound-is widely used for relieving various pain conditions including migraine. However, a high dose of menthol reportedly decreases pain thresholds and enhances pain responses. Accordingly, in the […]
Learn More >The properties of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons that innervate the distal colon are poorly defined, hindering our understanding of their roles in normal physiology and gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Here, […]
Learn More >TissueGene-C (TG-C), a combination of human allogeneic chondrocytes and irradiated GP2-293 cells engineered to overexpress transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), has been developed as a novel cell-based gene therapy and a […]
Learn More >Previous studies have revealed that an antioxidant diet is a protective factor against migraine. However, the association between zinc, an important antioxidant obtained from the diet, and migraine has received […]
