CRMP2–Neurofibromin Interface Drives NF1-related Pain
An understudied symptom of the genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is chronic idiopathic pain. We used targeted editing of Nf1 in rats to provide direct evidence of a causal relationship between neurofibromin, the protein product of the Nf1 gene, and pain responses.

Calcium channel modulation as a target in chronic pain control [PDF]
Neuropathic pain remains poorly treated for large numbers of patients and little progress has been made in developing novel classes of analgesics. To redress this issue, ziconotide (PrialtTM ) was developed and approved as a first in class synthetic ...

Non-SUMOylated CRMP2 decreases NaV1.7 currents via the endocytic proteins Numb, Nedd4-2 and Eps15
Voltage-gated sodium channels are key players in neuronal excitability and pain signaling. Functional expression of the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 is under the control of SUMOylated collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2).

Proteomics: in pursuit of effective traumatic brain injury therapeutics [PDF]
Effective traumatic brain injury (TBI) therapeutics remain stubbornly elusive. Efforts in the field have been challenged by the heterogeneity of clinical TBI, with greater complexity among underlying molecular phenotypes than initially conceived.

Collapsin response mediator protein-2 plays a major protective role in acute axonal degeneration
Axonal degeneration is a key pathological feature in many neurological diseases. It often leads to persistent deficits due to the inability of axons to regenerate in the central nervous system.

Perinatale Hirnschäden und Neuroprotektion [PDF]
Perinatal brain damage is a main factor for mortality and long-term morbidity in infants. Several mechanisms have been identified which can lead to perinatal brain injury, such as alterations of oxygen pressure, pharmaceuticals, drugs of abuse, and ...

In Silico Gene Regulatory Network of the Maurer’s Cleft Pathway in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
The Maurer’s clefts (MCs) are very important for the survival of Plasmodium falciparum within an infected cell as they are induced by the parasite itself in the erythrocyte for protein trafficking.
