Combination gene delivery reduces spinal cord pathology in rats with peripheral neuropathic pain.

Although peripheral neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by peripheral nerve injury, it is not simply a peripheral nervous system disease. It causes abnormalities in both the central and peripheral nervous […]

Inflammasome in Skeletal Muscle: NLRP3 Is an Inflammatory Cell Stress Component in Inclusion Body Myositis.

Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a chronic, mostly treatment-resistant, inflammatory myopathy with a pathology that centers around specific interactions between inflammation and protein accumulation. The study aimed to identify the […]

Metabolic Biomarkers Differentiate a Surgical Intervertebral Disc from a Nonsurgical Intervertebral Disc.

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is caused by disturbances in metabolic processes, which lead to structural disorders. The aim of this report is to analyze metabolic disorders in the […]

Translation of Experimental Findings from Animal to Human Biology: Identification of Neuronal Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in a Sectioned Main Nerve Trunk of the Leg.

The activation of the mineralocorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid (GR) receptors on peripheral sensory neurons seems to modify pain perception through both direct non-genomic and indirect genomic pathways. These distinct subpopulations […]

Calcitonin Related Polypeptide Alpha Mediates Oral Cancer Pain.

Oral cancer patients suffer pain at the site of the cancer. Calcitonin gene related polypeptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide expressed by a subset of primary afferent neurons, promotes oral cancer growth. […]

F-FDG and F-NaF PET/CT Global Assessment of Large Joint Inflammation and Bone Turnover in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves chronic inflammation of synovial joints, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. F-sodium fluoride (NaF) is a PET tracer whose uptake reflects bone turnover, while F-fludeoxyglucose (FDG) […]

GLP-1R agonist liraglutide attenuates pain hypersensitivity by stimulating IL-10 release in a nitroglycerin-induced chronic migraine mouse model.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) has been indicated to involve in chronic pain, however, the mechanism by which GLP-1R alleviates the central sensitization of chronic migraine (CM) remains unclear. Treatment with […]

Age-, gender- and body site-specific reference values of thermal Quantitative Sensory Testing in the Italian population using the Q-sense device.

Age-, gender- and body site-specific values of thermal Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) measures have not yet been reported using the novel and cheap device ‘Q-sense’. Here, we aimed to assess […]

Influence of Inflammatory Pain and Dopamine on Synaptic Transmission in the Mouse ACC.

Dopamine (DA) inhibits excitatory synaptic transmission in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain region involved in the sensory and affective processing of pain. However, the DA modulation of inhibitory […]
