Abstract

Our previous study indicated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critically involved in chronic pain. Sestrin2 (Sesn2), a novel stress-inducible protein, is evidenced to reduce the generation of ROS. The study examined the role of Sesn2 in osteoarthritis (OA) pain and delineated the underlying molecular mechanisms.
