The pharmacotherapeutic potential of neuropeptide Y for chronic pain
Abstract Chronic pain is a major medical problem that requires new therapeutic options. Discovered by Victor Mutt in 1982, neuropeptide Y (NPY) is rapidly emerging as a master regulator of pain relief. Genetic knockdown of NPY or pharmacological inhibition of its receptors demonstrates that NPY signaling tonically inhibits indices of chronic ...

Varicella-Zoster viruses associated with post-herpetic neuralgia induce sodium current density increases in the ND7-23 Nav-1.8 neuroblastoma cell line [PDF]
Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most significant complication of herpes zoster caused by reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV). We undertook a heterologous infection in vitro study to determine whether PHN-associated VZV isolates ...

Regulation of peripheral inflammation by spinal p38 MAP kinase in rats. [PDF]
BackgroundSomatic afferent input to the spinal cord from a peripheral inflammatory site can modulate the peripheral response. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms in the spinal cord that regulate this linkage have not been defined.
