Orofacial pain (OFP) is a clinically very common and the most troubling condition; however, there is few effective way to relieve OFP. Rab11a, a small molecule guanosine triphosphate enzyme, is […]
Learn More >The complexity and diversity of pain signaling have led to obstacles for prominent treatments due to mechanisms that are not yet fully understood. Among adenosine triphosphate (ATP) receptors, P2X7 differs […]
Learn More >Beta carotene is a natural anti-oxidant agent, and it inhibits the matrix metalloprotease (MMP) activity. Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is produced by cellular oxidative stress. The role of the beta […]
Learn More >Previous studies showed that the perimenstrual window is associated with an increased susceptibility to migraine attacks without aura, but had conflicting results regarding attacks with aura.
Learn More >Neuropathic pain (NP) is a widespread chronic pain with a prevalence of 6.9-10% in the general population, severely affecting patients’ physical and mental health. Accumulating evidence indicated that the immune […]
Learn More >The glycinergic system plays an important inhibitory role in the mouse central nervous system, where glycine controls the excitability of spinal itch- and pain-mediating neurons. Impairments of the glycine receptors […]
Learn More >The intraepithelial sub-basal nerve plexus of the cornea is characterized by a central swirl of nerve processes that terminate between the apical cells of the epithelium. This plexus is a […]
Learn More >Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are transmembrane sensors of extracellular acidosis and potential drug targets in several disease indications, including neuropathic pain and cancer metastasis. The K-sparing diuretic amiloride is a […]
Learn More >Early phase diabetes is often accompanied by pain sensitization. In Drosophila, the insulin receptor (InR) regulates the persistence of injury-induced thermal nociceptive sensitization. Whether Drosophila InR also regulates the persistence […]
Learn More >Given that the incidence of cancer is dramatically increasing nowadays, cancer-related neuropathic pain including tumor-related and therapy-related pain gradually attracts more attention from researchers, which basically behaves as a metabolic-neuro-immune […]
