Sexual dimorphism of the synovial transcriptome underpins greater PTOA disease severity in male mice following joint injury.

Osteoarthritis is a disease with sex-dependent prevalence and severity in both humans and animal models. We sought to elucidate sex differences in synovitis, mechanical sensitization, structural damage, bone remodeling, and […]

Brain nuclei and neural circuits in neuropathic pain and brain modulation mechanisms of acupuncture: a review on animal-based experimental research.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is known to be associated with abnormal changes in specific brain regions, but the complex neural network behind it is vast and complex and lacks a systematic […]

Increases in local skin temperature correlate with spontaneous foot lifting and heat hyperalgesia in both incisional and inflammatory models of pain.

This study investigated if a localized increase in skin temperature in rat models of incisional and inflammatory pain correlates with the intensity of spontaneous and evoked pain behaviors.

Cobweb-Inspired Micro/Nanostructured Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Regeneration with Inhibition Effect of Fibrosis under Dynamic Environment.

In soft tissue repair, fibrosis can lead to repair failure and long-term chronic pain in patients. Excessive mechanical stimulation of fibroblasts is one of the causes of fibrosis during abdominal […]

Disruption of the microbiota-gut-brain axis is a defining characteristic of the α-Gal A (-/0) mouse model of Fabry disease.

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked metabolic disease caused by a deficiency in α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) activity. This causes accumulation of glycosphingolipids, especially globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), in different cells and […]

Fully Implantable Neurostimulation System for Long-term Behavioral Animal Study.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an emerging therapeutic option for patients with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury (SCI). Numerous studies on pain relief effects with SCS have been […]

PACAP38-related modulation of the cranial parasympathetic projection: a novel mechanism and therapeutic target in severe primary headache.

Little is known of how the presence of cranial autonomic symptoms (CAS) in cluster headache and migraine may contribute to their severe headache phenotype. However, this strong association points to […]

Human OPRM1 and murine Oprm1 promoter driven viral constructs for genetic access to μ-opioidergic cell types.

With concurrent global epidemics of chronic pain and opioid use disorders, there is a critical need to identify, target and manipulate specific cell populations expressing the mu-opioid receptor (MOR). However, […]

Bradykinin receptor expression and bradykinin-mediated sensitization of human sensory neurons.

Bradykinin is a peptide implicated in inflammatory pain in both humans and rodents. In rodent sensory neurons, activation of B1 and B2 bradykinin receptors induces neuronal hyperexcitability. Recent evidence suggests […]

Phosphorylation of the AMPARs regulated by protein kinase C (PKC) and protein interacting with C-kinase 1 (PICK1) contribute to orofacial neuropathic pain.

The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) has been recognized to play a vital role in the development of neuropathic pain. Recent studies have indicated that protein kinase C (PKC) and protein […]
