Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes, which has yet no curable medication. Neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are tightly linked to DPN pathology. G-protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) […]
Learn More >Sex-related exacerbation of injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in GAD67 haplodeficient mice.
Decreased GABA levels in injury-induced loss of spinal inhibition are still under intense interest and debate. Here, we show that GAD67 haplodeficient mice exhibited a prolonged injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in […]
Learn More >In the context of the electroacupuncture (EA) neurobiological mechanisms, we have previously demonstrated the involvement of formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2/ALX) in the antihyperalgesic effect of EA. The present study […]
Learn More >Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by articular cartilage calcification, loss of articular cartilage, bone changes, pain, and disability. Cartilage calcification is one hallmark of OA and is […]
Learn More >Chronic pain presents a therapeutic challenge due to the highly complex interplay of sensory, emotional-affective and cognitive factors. The mechanisms of the transition from acute to chronic pain are not […]
Learn More >Elevated excitability of glutamatergic neurons in the lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBL) is associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory pain, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Sodium leak […]
Learn More >Intersectional genetics have yielded tremendous advances in our understanding of molecularly-identified subpopulations and circuits within the dorsal horn in neuropathic pain. We tested the hypothesis that spinal µ opioid receptor-expressing […]
Learn More >Pain is a cardinal symptom in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). An important structure in the transduction of pain signalling is the myenteric plexus (MP). Nevertheless, IBD-associated infiltration of the MP […]
Learn More >Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by hyperactive immune cells within the joints, which leads to inflammation, bone degeneration, and chronic pain. For several decades, frontline immunomodulators […]
Learn More >Morphine is amongst the most effective analgesics available for the management of severe pain. However, prolonged morphine treatment leads to analgesic tolerance which limits its clinical usage. Previous studies have […]
