Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit αδ-1 in spinal dorsal horn neurons contributes to aberrant excitatory synaptic transmission and mechanical hypersensitivity after peripheral nerve injury.

Neuropathic pain, an intractable pain symptom that occurs after nerve damage, is caused by the aberrant excitability of spinal dorsal horn (SDH) neurons. Gabapentinoids, the most commonly used drugs for […]

Multi-omics analysis revealed the role of CYP1A2 in the induction of mechanical allodynia in type 1 diabetes.

Mechanical allodynia (MA) is one of the leading clinical symptoms of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN), which is a primary reason for non-traumatic amputations, foot ulceration, and gait abnormalities in […]

Mannose-coated nanozyme for relief from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic pain.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPNP) is a progressive and disturbing peripheral neuropathy with currently no effective treatment. Aberrant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in macrophages near peripheral nerves plays […]

Efficient elimination of phenazone by an electro-assisted Fe-EDDS/PS process at neutral pH: Kinetics, mechanistic insights and toxicity evaluation.

The feasibility of the degradation of phenazone (PNZ), a common anti-inflammatory drug used for reducing pain and fever, in water at neutral pH by an electrochemically assisted Fe-ethylenediamine disuccinate-activated persulfate […]

In situ delivery of a curcumin-loaded dynamic hydrogel for the treatment of chronic peripheral neuropathy.

Patients with peripheral nerve injuries would highly likely suffer from chronic neuropathic pain even after surgical intervention. The primary reasons for this involve sustained neuroinflammatory and dysfunctional changes in the […]

Potent dual MAGL/FAAH inhibitor AKU-005 engages endocannabinoids to diminish meningeal nociception implicated in migraine pain.

Engaging the endocannabinoid system through inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), degrading endocannabinoids (endoCBs) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA), was proposed as a promising approach […]

Microglial phagocytosis mediates long-term restructuring of spinal GABAergic circuits following early life injury.

Peripheral injury during the early postnatal period alters the somatosensory system, leading to behavioural hyperalgesia upon re-injury in adulthood. Spinal microglia have been implicated as the cellular mediators of this […]

Intrathecal non-viral interleukin-10 gene therapy ameliorates neuropathic pain as measured by both classical static allodynia and a novel supra-spinally mediated painassay, theTwo-ArmRodentSomatosensory (TARS)task.

Intrathecal delivery of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene therapy has been reported to be effective in suppressing pain enhancement in a variety of rodent models. However, all publications that have tested this […]

Orexin A, an amphipathic α-helical neuropeptide involved in pleiotropic functions in the nervous and immune systems: Synthetic approach and biophysical studies of the membrane-bound state.

This research reports on the membrane interactions of orexin A (OXA), an α-helical and amphipathic neuropeptide that contains 33 residues and two disulfide bonds in the N-terminal region. OXA, which […]
