Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Mechanical sensitization of sensory afferents after passive transfer of fibromyalgia IgG
Abstract figure legend In addition to widespread pain and fatigue, people with fibromyalgia (FM) experience sensory abnormalities and report lingering, painful sensations after touch or mechanical probing of the skin. Administration of IgG purified from FM patients to mice transfers symptoms and signs of FM.

High‐altitude headache: Insights into pathophysiology and potential treatment implications
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude headache occurs during prolonged exposure to low oxygen, such as during ascent to high altitude. Several risk factors increase its likelihood, with the degree of hypoxia, often driven by rapid ascent to greater altitudes, being the most prominent factor.

Dynamic memory in rodent C‐fibres and its impact on spinal nociceptive processing
Abstract figure legend Nociceptive C‐fibres display activity‐dependent slowing (ADS) whereby successive action potentials are conducted progressively slower thus regulating the temporal relay of pain signals. This study shows that the ADS induced by short stimulus trains (which mimic stimulus evoked firing, shown in orange) is modified by prior ...

Abstract figure legend Acute itch was experimentally induced using histamine and cowage in control participants (with no neuronopathy) and in IW, a participant with a large‐fibre sensory neuronopathy resulting in the loss of Aβ afferent function below C3, at the same time as largely preserving Aδ and C‐fibre function.

Abstract figure legend We tested the hypothesis that cAMP binding to HCN2 channels in nociceptors is a causal driver of neuropathic pain by using TRIP8bnano, a synthetic peptide we previously developed as a selective antagonist of cAMP in HCN channels. TRIP8bnano effectively abolishes cAMP potentiation of HCN2 currents in small‐diameter DRG neurons and

Abstract figure legend Machine learning analysis of circulating microRNA (miRNA) profiles identified a minimal set of biomarkers that distinguish individuals with obesity from lean individuals both before and after weight‐loss intervention. Comparative analyses revealed heterogeneous molecular responses to weight reduction, with some miRNAs showing ...
