Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Intramuscular tendon length in agonist–antagonist myoneural interface components in transtibial amputation: An anatomic study

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 644-652, April 2026.
Interestingly, this study shows that tendons spanned over 75% of the distal muscle belly in all muscles, crucial for the innovative tibiotalar agonist–antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) construction. AMI simulates natural muscle–tendon interaction in amputees, improving prosthetic control despite anatomical constraints.
