Sex specific role of RNA-binding protein, AUF1, on prolonged hypersensitivity after repetitive ischemia with reperfusion injury.

Repetitive ischemia with reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common cause of myalgia. I/R injuries occur in many conditions that differentially affect males and females including complex regional pain syndrome and […]

Deep RNA-seq of male and female murine sensory neuron subtypes after nerve injury.

Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons have been well described for their role in driving both acute and chronic pain. Although nerve injury is known to cause transcriptional dysregulation, how this […]

Socioeconomic status, knee pain, and epigenetic aging in community-dwelling middle-to-older age adults.

Chronic musculoskeletal pain is often associated with lower socioeconomic status (SES). SES correlates with psychological and environmental conditions that could contribute to the disproportionate burden of chronic stress. Chronic stress […]

Characterization of pain-related behaviors and gene expression profiling of peripheral sensory ganglia in a mouse model of acute ankle sprain.

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a very common type of joint injury. It occurred with high incidence among general population and especially among individuals participating sports and outdoor activities. A […]

Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis reveals a causal effect of interleukin-18 levels on postherpetic neuralgia risk.

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating complication of herpes zoster, characterized by persistent neuropathic pain that significantly impairs patients’ quality of life. Identifying factors that determine PHN susceptibility is crucial […]

Association between TRP channels and glutamatergic synapse gene polymorphisms and migraine and the comorbidities anxiety and depression in a Chinese population.

Genetic and environmental factors contribute to migraine and the comorbidities of anxiety and depression. However, the association between genetic polymorphisms in the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and glutamatergic synapse […]

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 […]

The Epigenetics of Migraine.

Migraine is a complex neurological disorder and a major cause of disability. A wide range of different drug classes such as triptans, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, analgesics, and beta-blockers are used in […]

Distinct Local and Global Functions of Aβ Low-Threshold Mechanoreceptors in Mechanical Pain Transmission.

The roles of Aβ low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) in transmitting mechanical hyperalgesia and in alleviating chronic pain have been of great interest but remain contentious. Here we utilized intersectional genetic tools, […]

Upregulation of lysine-specific demethylase 6B aggravates inflammatory pain through H3K27me3 demethylation-dependent production of TNF-α in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal dorsal horn in rats.

Lysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) serves as a key mediator of gene transcription. It regulates expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in variety of diseases. Herein, the role and the underlying […]
