Thiostrepton (TST) is a natural antibiotic with pleiotropic properties. This study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic effect of TST on experimental colitis and identify its targets. The effect of TST […]
Learn More >The aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin and atypical Wnt/Ryk signaling pathways in the spinal cord is critical for the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Crotalphine is a structural analog to […]
Learn More >Illness representations explain the individual’s perception and processing of health-related information. In a chronic condition such as persistent pain, illness representations might influence treatment adherence and outcome. This study aims […]
Learn More >The ATP-gated channel P2X7 is encoded by a gene enriched for common nonsynonymous variants. Many of these variants have functional cellular effects, and some been implicated in chronic pain. In […]
Learn More >A network analysis can be used to quantitatively assess and graphically describe multiple interactions. This study applied network analyses to determine the interaction between physical and pain-related factors and fear […]
Learn More >The average age of our population is increasing, resulting in a high incidence of chronic degenerative knee pathologies. Several treatment options, including surgical procedures are available to help mitigate these […]
Learn More >Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint disorder, with pain accompanied by functional impairment, as the most pronounced clinical symptom. Currently used pharmacotherapy involves symptomatic treatment that do […]
Learn More >Chronic stress and chronic pain are two major predisposing factors to trigger depression. Enhanced excitatory input to the lateral habenula (LHb) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. However, […]
Learn More >Mice lacking the σ receptor chaperone (σR) are resilient to depressive-like behaviors secondary to neuropathic pain. Examining the resilience’s brain mechanisms could help develop conceptually novel therapeutic strategies. We explored […]
Learn More >NLR family pyrin domain containing 2 (NLRP2) is a novel member of the Nod-like receptor (NLR) family. However, our understanding of NLRP2 has long been ambiguous. NLRP2 may have a […]
