The voltage-gated sodium channel subtype Nav1.6 is involved in the electrophysiological changes of primary sensory neurons that occur in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain, but its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this […]
Learn More >Pruritus is the most common and burdensome symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD). Pruritus-targeted treatments in AD are lacking, particularly for patients with milder skin disease.
Learn More >Therapies specifically targeting non-histaminergic pruritus are largely lacking. Difelikefalin (DFK) has been found to reduce itch in various chronic pruritic conditions, including atopic dermatitis (AD).
Learn More >Migraine is a leading cause of disability in young adults. It occurs more frequently in females, often comorbidly with stress disorders, suggesting an association with hypothalamic sex and stress hormonal […]
Learn More >Itch is an unpleasant sensation that severely impacts the patient’s quality of life. Recent studies revealed that the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) may play a crucial role in the […]
Learn More >Parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (PVINs) play a crucial role within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord by preventing touch inputs from activating pain circuits. In both male and female mice, nerve […]
Learn More >Aberrant activation of presynaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the spinal dorsal horn is integral to opioid-induced hyperalgesia and analgesic tolerance. However, the signaling mechanisms responsible for opioid-induced NMDAR hyperactivity remain […]
Learn More >The parabrachial nuclear complex (PBN) is a nexus for aversion, and for the sensory and affective components of pain perception. We have previously shown that, during chronic pain, PBN neurons […]
Learn More >The high prevalence of opioid addiction and the shortcomings of systemic opioids has increased the pace of the search for alternative methods of pain management. The local delivery of pain […]
Learn More >Debilitating abdominal pain is a common symptom affecting most patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). There are multiple underlying mechanisms that contribute to pain which makes successful treatment difficult. The identification […]
