Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate suppresses microglia polarization and neuroinflammation possibly via regulating miR-125b-5p/STAT3 axis to ameliorate neuropathic pain.

The spinal cord microglia play a pivotal role in neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain (NP). Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS), a derivative of tanshinone IIA, has anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperalgesic effects. However, […]

Cryo-EM structures of human GPR34 enable the identification of selective antagonists.

GPR34 is a functional G-protein-coupled receptor of Lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), and has pathogenic roles in numerous diseases, yet remains poorly targeted. We herein report a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of GPR34 […]

Benzydamine plays a role in limiting inflammatory pain induced by neuronal sensitization.

Benzydamine is an active pharmaceutical compound used in the oral care pharmaceutical preparation as NSAID. Beside from its anti-inflammatory action, benzydamine local application effectively reliefs pain showing analgesic and anaesthetic […]

Truxillic acid monoamides as fatty acid binding protein 5 inhibitors.

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are intracellular chaperones that deliver bioactive lipids to cytosolic enzymes and nuclear receptors, thereby regulating diverse biological functions. FABP5 is a member of the FABP […]

Fatty acid binding proteins are novel modulators of synaptic epoxyeicosatrienoic acid signaling in the brain.

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) govern intracellular lipid transport to cytosolic organelles and nuclear receptors. More recently, FABP5 has emerged as a key regulator of synaptic endocannabinoid signaling, suggesting that […]

Folate-conjugated near-infrared fluorescent perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions as theranostics for activated macrophage COX-2 inhibition.

Activated macrophages play a critical role in the orchestration of inflammation and inflammatory pain in several chronic diseases. We present here the first perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion (PFC NE) that is designed […]

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, […]

HPV+ head and neck cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles communicate with TRPV1+ neurons to mediate cancer pain.

Severe pain is often experienced by patients with head and neck cancer and is associated with a poor prognosis. Despite its frequency and severity, current treatments fail to adequately control […]

Sigma-1 receptor expression in a subpopulation of lumbar spinal cord microglia in response to peripheral nerve injury.

Sigma-1 Receptor has been shown to localize to sites of peripheral nerve injury and back pain. Radioligand probes have been developed to localize Sigma-1 Receptor and thus image pain source. […]

The Ca channel ORAI1 is a regulator of oral cancer growth and nociceptive pain.

Oral cancer causes pain associated with cancer progression. We report here that the function of the Ca channel ORAI1 is an important regulator of oral cancer pain. was highly expressed […]
