Molecular mechanisms of pyrethroid insecticide neurotoxicity: recent advances [PDF]
Synthetic pyrethroid insecticides were introduced into widespread use for the control of insect pests and disease vectors more than three decades ago.

Introduction: Pain is a complex clinical challenge, with opioids traditionally used despite the risks of dependency and overdose. The need for safer alternatives has led to growing interest in voltage-gated sodium channels, particularly NaV1.7, NaV1.8 ...

The function of NaV1.8 clusters in lipid rafts
NaV1.8 is a voltage gated sodium channel mainly expressed on the membrane of thin diameter c-fibre neurons involved in the transmission of pain signals. In these neurons NaV1.8 is essential for the propagation of action potentials. NaV1.8 is located in lipid rafts along the axons of sensory neurons and disruption of these lipid rafts leads to NaV1.8 ...

We recently used Nav1.8-ChR2 mice in which Nav1.8-expressing afferents were optogenetically tagged to classify mechanosensitive afferents into Nav1.8-ChR2-positive and Nav1.8-ChR2-negative mechanoreceptors. We found that the former were mainly high threshold mechanoreceptors (HTMRs), while the latter were low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs). In the

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 ...

Nociceptive Sensory Neurons Drive Interleukin-23 Mediated Psoriasiform Skin Inflammation [PDF]
The skin has a dual function as a barrier and a sensory interface between the body and the environment. To protect against invading pathogens, the skin harbors specialized immune cells, including dermal dendritic cells (DDCs) and interleukin (IL)-17 ...
