Expression of neuropeptides – galanin and Reg2 - in subcategories of nociceptors after nerve injury [PDF]
PhDNeuropeptides show dynamic changes in expression after nerve injury, and have been implicated in chronic pain states. I sought to compare expression of two peptides which are upregulated after nerve injury, galanin and Reg2, and to determine the ...

Neuropilin-mediated neural crest cell guidance is essential to organise sensory neurons into segmented dorsal root ganglia [PDF]
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) of higher vertebrates is segmented to align the spinal nerve roots with the vertebrae. This co-patterning is set up during embryogenesis, when vertebrae develop from the sclerotome layer of the metameric somites, and ...

Mechanisms involved in chronic neuropathic pain after avulsion injury [PDF]
PhDMotor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of injuries involving avulsion of spinal roots from the brachial or lumbosacral plexuses. This results in chronic intractable pain that is refractory to pharmacotherapy.

Molecular pathways of proprioceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neuron specification [PDF]
Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons can be classified into distinct neuronal subpopulations based on the expression of specific receptor tyrosine kinases known as neurotrophic factor receptors.

Intense isolectin-B4 binding in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons distinguishes c-fiber nociceptors with broad action potentials and high nav1.9 expression [PDF]
Binding to isolectin-B4 (IB4) and expression of tyrosine kinase A (trkA) (the high-affinity NGF receptor) have been used to define two different subgroups of nociceptive small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. We previously showed that only nociceptors

Morphology and Nanomechanics of Sensory Neurons Growth Cones following Peripheral Nerve Injury [PDF]
A prior peripheral nerve injury in vivo, promotes a rapid elongated mode of sensory neurons neurite regrowth in vitro. This in vitro model of conditioned axotomy allows analysis of the cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to an improved neurite re ...

Somatic instability of the expanded GAA triplet-repeat sequence in Friedreich ataxia progresses throughout life [PDF]
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) patients are homozygous for expanded GAA triplet-repeat alleles in the FXN gene. Primary neurodegeneration involving the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) results in progressive ataxia.
