Combined genotype of HCRTR2 and CLOCK variants in a large family of cluster headache with familial periodicity phenotype.

Cluster headache (CH) is a debilitating condition with severe and recurrent headaches characterized by circannual and circadian rhythms. A genetic contingent was suggested, and several loci were described in large […]

Drug-Embedded Nanovesicles Assembled from Peptide-Decorated Hyaluronic Acid for Rheumatoid Arthritis Synergistic Therapy.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes endless pain and poor quality of life in patients. Usage of a lubricant combined with anti-inflammatory therapy is considered […]

Mu-opioid receptor selective superagonists produce prolonged respiratory depression.

Synthetic opioids are increasingly challenging to combat the opioid epidemic and act primarily at opioid receptors, chiefly the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) μ-opioid receptor (MOR), which signals through G protein-dependent […]

Exonic mutations in cell-cell adhesion may contribute to CADASIL-related CSVD pathology.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a condition caused by mutations in NOTCH3 and results in a phenotype characterised by recurrent strokes, vascular dementia and […]

Spinal CBX2 contributes to neuropathic pain by activating ERK signaling pathway in male mice.

The deregulated spinal cord proteins induced by nerve injury are the key to neuropathic pain. Integrated transcriptome and translatome analyses can screen out deregulated proteins controlled by only post-transcriptional regulation. […]

Electroacupuncture Alleviates Neuropathic Pain by Suppressing Ferroptosis in Dorsal Root Ganglion via SAT1/ALOX15 Signaling.

Neuropathic pain affects globally about 7-10% of the general population. Electroacupuncture (EA) effectively relieves neuropathic pain symptoms without causing any side effects; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We […]

A comparison of nocturnal upper trapezius muscle activity between chronic neck pain patients with sleep disturbance and healthy participants.

Sleep disturbances frequently occur in patients with chronic neck pain. In these patients, upper trapezius muscle dysfunction is observed during sleep. This study aimed to evaluate the trapezius muscle activity […]

Somatosensory profiling of patients undergoing alcohol withdrawal: do neuropathic pain and sensory loss represent a problem?

Chronic heavy alcohol use is known to cause neurological complications such as peripheral neuropathy. Concerning the pathophysiology, few sural nerve and skin biopsy studies showed that small fibers might be […]

Neural underpinnings of preferential pain learning and the modulatory role of fear.

Due to its unique biological relevance, pain-related learning might differ from learning from other aversive experiences. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study compared neural mechanisms underlying the acquisition and extinction […]

Monoacylglycerol lipase protects the presynaptic cannabinoid 1 receptor from desensitization by endocannabinoids after persistent inflammation.

Cannabinoid-targeted pain therapies are increasing with the expansion of cannabis legalization, however, their efficacy may be limited by pain-induced adaptations in the cannabinoid system. Cannabinoid receptor subtype 1 (CB1Rs) inhibition […]
