Trigeminal neuralgia - diagnosis and treatment [PDF]
Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by touch-evoked unilateral brief shock-like paroxysmal pain in one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. In addition to the paroxysmal pain, some patients also have continuous pain.

Die Chemie und Biologie der Tetrodotoxin Naturstofffamilie
Tetrodotoxin ist vor allem als das Gift des Kugelfisches bekannt, einer Delikatesse in der japanischen Küche. Seine Toxizität beruht auf der selektiven Blockade von NaV Kanälen, wie am Beispiel der NaV1.7 Pore dargestellt, wobei das DEKA Motiv hervorgehoben ist, das für die Durchlässigkeit von Natriumionen verantwortlich ist.

Significant determinants of mouse pain behaviour.
Transgenic mouse behavioural analysis has furthered our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying damage sensing and pain. However, it is not unusual for conflicting data on the pain phenotypes of knockout mice to be generated by ...

An animal model of oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia reveals a crucial role for Na(v)1.6 in peripheral pain pathways [PDF]
Cold allodynia, pain in response to cooling, occurs during or within hours of oxaliplatin infusion and is thought to arise from a direct effect of oxaliplatin on peripheral sensory neurons.

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family
Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.

The Role of Peripheral N‐Methyl‐D‐Asparate (NMDA) Receptors in Itch and Pain: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Background and Objective NMDA receptors, predominantly located in the central nervous system and known for their roles in synaptic plasticity and central sensitisation of pain and itch, are also expressed in peripheral sensory neurons. Emerging evidence suggests that peripheral NMDA receptors contribute to pathological pain and potentially ...

The M-Superfamily of Conotoxins: A Review [PDF]
Throughout the world there exist both predator and prey. This distinction is apparent though sometimes misleading. Take for example marine snails of the genus Conus that are present across the oceans of the southern hemisphere [1].

Molecular Mechanisms of Chronic Pain and Therapeutic Interventions
We offer a comprehensive overview of the distinctive molecular mechanisms underlying nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain, including the immune responses, ion channels, monoaminergic imbalance, and neuroinflammation. Subsequently, we summarized the status quo of nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain managementmanipulation.

Effects of Tetrodotoxin on the Mammalian Cardiovascular System
The human genome encodes nine functional voltage-gated Na+ channels. Three of them, namely Nav1.5, Nav1.8, and Nav1.9, are resistant to nanomolar concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX; IC50 ≥ 1 μM).

NaVβ3 expression is increased by laminar shear stress (LSS) through KLF4 induction (1). NaVβ3 is retained within the cell and interacts with mTOR protein and colocalizes partially with LAMP1 and LC3B, lysosome and autophagosome markers, respectively (2). Since SiRNA SCN3B induces the decrease of LC3B expression and cell alignment in response to LSS (3),
