Progesterone interacts with the mutational hot-spot of TRPV4 and acts as a ligand relevant for fast Ca-signalling.

Steroids are also known to induce immediate physiological and cellular response which occurs within minutes to seconds, or even faster. Such non-genomic actions of steroids are rapid and are proposed […]

Representation and control of pain and itch by distinct prefrontal neural ensembles.

Pain and itch are two closely related but essentially distinct sensations that elicit different behavioral responses. However, it remains mysterious how pain and itch information is encoded in the brain […]

Primary somatosensory cortex bidirectionally modulates sensory gain and nociceptive behavior in a layer-specific manner.

The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is a hub for body sensation of both innocuous and noxious signals, yet its role in somatosensation versus pain is debated. Despite known contributions of […]

Efficacy and Safety of Abrocitinib in Patients with Severe and/or Difficult-to-Treat Atopic Dermatitis: A Post Hoc Analysis of the Randomized Phase 3 JADE COMPARE Trial.

Traditional systemic immunosuppressants and advanced therapies improve signs and symptoms of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). However, data are limited in severe and/or difficult-to-treat AD. In the phase 3 JADE COMPARE […]

GM-CSF Promotes the Survival of Peripheral-Derived Myeloid Cells in the Central Nervous System for Pain-Induced Relapse of Neuroinflammation.

We recently discovered a (to our knowledge) new neuroimmune interaction named the gateway reflex, in which the activation of specific neural circuits establishes immune cell gateways at specific vessel sites […]

Critical Windows: Exploring the Association Between Perinatal Trauma, Epigenetics, and Chronic Pain.

Chronic pain is highly prevalent and burdensome, affecting millions of people worldwide. Although it emerges at any point in life, it often manifests in adolescence. Given that adolescence is a […]

Relating spinal injury-induced neuropathic pain and spontaneous afferent activity to sleep and respiratory dysfunction.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can induce dysfunction in a multitude of neural circuits including those that lead to impaired sleep, respiratory dysfunction and neuropathic pain. We used a lower thoracic […]
