MNK inhibitor eFT508 (Tomivosertib) suppresses ectopic activity in human dorsal root ganglion neurons from dermatomes with radicular neuropathic pain.

Spontaneous activity in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons is a key driver of neuropathic pain in preclinical models and in patients suffering from this largely untreated disease. While many intracellular […]

Maresin-2 inhibits inflammatory and neuropathic trigeminal pain and reduces neuronal activation in the trigeminal ganglion.

Pain is a common symptom associated with disorders involving the orofacial structures. Most acute orofacial painful conditions are easily recognized, but the pharmacological treatment may be limited by the adverse […]

Osteopontin (OPN) alleviates the progression of osteoarthritis by promoting the anabolism of chondrocytes.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic debilitating joint disease, characterized by degeneration of the cartilage and loss of the cartilage matrix, and it is clinically manifested as joint pain. Osteopontin (OPN) […]

Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of the anterior cingulate cortex in neuropathic pain model rats.

Neuropathic pain (NP) takes a heavy toll on individual life quality, yet gaps in its molecular characterization persist and effective therapy is lacking. This study aimed to provide comprehensive knowledge […]

Microglia are involved in regulating histamine-dependent and non-dependent itch transmissions with distinguished signal pathways.

Although itch and pain have many similarities, they are completely different in perceptual experience and behavioral response. In recent years, we have a deep understanding of the neural pathways of […]

TRPA1 activation and Hsp90 inhibition synergistically downregulate macrophage activation and inflammatory responses in vitro.

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels are known to be actively involved in various pathophysiological conditions, including neuronal inflammation, neuropathic pain, and various immunological responses. Heat shock protein 90 […]

Micro-structural white matter abnormalities in new daily persistent headache: a DTI study using TBSS analysis.

New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a rare primary headache disorder characterized by daily and persistent sudden onset headaches. The pathogenesis of NDPH remains unclear, and there are few white […]

Activation of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor and Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein kinase IIαSignal in the Rostral Anterior Cingulate Cortex is Involved in Pain-Related Aversion in Rats with Peripheral Nerve Injury.

The rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) of rat brain is associated with pain-related emotions. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) […]

Increased nociceptive behaviors and spinal c-Fos expression in the formalin test in a rat repeated cold stress model.

Repeated cold stress (RCS) can trigger the development of fibromyalgia (FM)-like symptoms, including persistent deep-tissue pain, although nociceptive changes to the skin have not been fully characterized. Using a rat […]
