Fibromyalgia is a prevalent syndrome characterized by widespread pain in the absence of evident tissue injury or pathology, making it one of the most mysterious chronic pain conditions. The composition […]
Pain is both a sensory and emotional experience caused by various harmful stimuli. While numerous studies have explored peripheral and central pain mechanisms, the specific neural circuits linking the spinal […]
Pain hypersensitivity is associated with increased activity of peripheral and central neurons along the pain neuroaxis. We show that at the peak of acute inflammatory pain, superficial medullary dorsal horn […]
Experimental access to cell types within the mammalian spinal cord is severely limited by the availability of genetic tools. To enable access to spinal motor neurons (SMNs) and SMN subtypes, […]
As individuals age, they often experience persistent, unresolved pain, impacting their quality of life. Aging as a process is accompanied by “inflammaging,” a state of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation contributing […]
Single-cell multiomic techniques have sparked immense interest in developing a comprehensive multi-modal map of diverse neuronal cell types and their brain-wide projections. However, investigating the complex wiring diagram, spatial organization, […]
The heterotrimeric G protein-coupled serotonin receptor 5-HT receptor (5-HTR) mediates antinociception and may serve as a valuable target for the treatment of pain. Starting from a chemical library, we evolved […]
Microglial activation is linked to neuroinflammation in neuropathic pain. Recently, microglia-mediated synaptic pruning has received mounting attention. However, the exact role of spinal microglia in modulating neuropathic pain-associated neural circuits […]
