Nav1.7 and Nav1.8: Role in the pathophysiology of pain
Chronic pain is a significant unmet medical problem. Current research regarding sodium channel function in pathological pain is advancing with the hope that it will enable the development of isoform-specific sodium channel blockers, a promising treatment

Rescuing Abandoned Molecules as Nav1.7 and PCSK9 Inhibitors
Academic institutions have plentiful of unexploited compounds. A cost-effective repositioning strategy from abandoned molecules coming from different research projects was applied. This strategy was based on the creation of a 2D-database then the biological assaying following adherence to the the Lilly OIDD (Open Innovation Drug Discovery) program by ...

Nociceptive sensory neurons convey pain-related signals to the CNS using action potentials. Loss-of-function mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 cause insensitivity to pain (presumably by reducing nociceptor excitability) but clinical ...

Conservation of alternative splicing in sodium channels reveals evolutionary focus on release from inactivation and structural insights into gating [PDF]
Voltage-gated sodium channels are critical for neuronal activity, and highly intolerant to variation. Even mutations that cause subtle changes in the activity these channels are sufficient to cause devastating inherited neurological diseases, such as ...

SUMOylation and calcium signalling: potential roles in the brain and beyond [PDF]
Small ubiquitin-like modi er (SUMO) conjugation (or SUMOylation) is a post-translational protein modi cation implicated in alterations to protein expression, localization and func- tion. Despite a number of nuclear roles for SUMO being well characterized,

Neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel subtypes: Key roles in inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) play an important role in neuronal excitability. Regulation of VGSC activity is a complex phenomenon that occurs at multiple levels in the cell, including transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification ...
