RNA-Seq Reveals Sex Differences in Gene Expression during Peripheral Neuropathic Inflammation and in Pain Relief from a COX-2 Inhibiting Theranostic Nanoemulsion.

Given decades of neuroinflammatory pain research focused only on males, there is an urgent need to better understand neuroinflammatory pain in females. This, paired with the fact that currently there […]

Neuropathic-like Nociception and Spinal Cord Neuroinflammation Are Dependent on the TRPA1 Channel in Multiple Sclerosis Models in Mice.

: Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) activation is implicated in neuropathic pain-like symptoms. However, whether TRPA1 is solely implicated in pain-signaling or contributes to neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS) […]

Antagonist of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 suppresses mechanical hypersensitivity and activation of microglia induced by infraorbital nerve ligation in male rats.

Activation of microglia is known to be involved in neuropathic pain. However, the pathway that regulates the microglial activation is not completely understood. Transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 2 (TRPM2), […]

Formalin-evoked pain triggers sex-specific behavior and spinal immune response.

Mounting evidence shows sex-related differences in the experience of pain with women suffering more from chronic pain than men. Yet, our understanding of the biological basis underlying those differences remains […]

Altered habenular connectivity in chronic low back pain: An fMRI and machine learning study.

The habenula has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pain and analgesia, while evidence concerning its function in chronic low back pain (cLBP) is sparse. This study aims to investigate […]

Single Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Emergent Notochord-Derived Cell Subpopulations in the Postnatal Nucleus Pulposus.

Intervertebral disc degeneration is a leading cause of chronic low back pain. Cell-based strategies that seek to treat disc degeneration by regenerating the central nucleus pulposus hold significant promise, but […]

Safe and Durable Treatment of Dentin Hypersensitivity via Nourishing and Remineralizing Dentin Based on β-Chitooligosaccharide Graft Derivative.

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common symptom of various dental diseases that usually produces abnormal pain with external stimuli. Various desensitizers are developed to treat DH by occluding dentine tubules […]

Antinociceptive Effect of a p-Cymene/β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex in a Murine Cancer Pain Model: Characterization Aided through a Docking Study.

Pain is one of the most prevalent and difficult to manage symptoms in cancer patients, and conventional drugs present a range of adverse reactions. The development of β-cyclodextrins (β-CD) complexes […]

HS Alleviates Neuropathic Pain in Mice by Nrf2 Signaling Pathway Activation.

Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain caused by direct damage to the peripheral or central nervous system, characterized by hyperalgesia, allodynia, and spontaneous pain. Hydrogen sulfide (HS) therapy has been […]
