Kaurenoic Acid Reduces Ongoing Chronic Constriction Injury-Induced Neuropathic Pain: Nitric Oxide Silencing of Dorsal Root Ganglia Neurons

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2023
Kaurenoic acid (KA) is a diterpene extracted from Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski. KA presents analgesic properties. However, the analgesic activity and mechanisms of action of KA in neuropathic pain have not been investigated so far; thus, we ...

Harnessing Inflammation Resolution in Arthritis: Current Understanding of Specialized Pro-resolving Lipid Mediators’ Contribution to Arthritis Physiopathology and Future Perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The concept behind the resolution of inflammation has changed in the past decades from a passive to an active process, which reflects in novel avenues to understand and control inflammation-driven diseases.

Rare Primary Mitochondrial DNA Mutations and Probable Synergistic Variants in Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited blinding disorder, which in over 90% of cases is due to one of three primary mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations (m.11778G>A, m.3460G>A and m.14484T>C, respectively ...

Specialized Pro-Resolving Lipid Mediators: Endogenous Roles and Pharmacological Activities in Infections

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
During an infection, inflammation mobilizes immune cells to eliminate the pathogen and protect the host. However, inflammation can be detrimental when exacerbated and/or chronic.

Nerve and Vascular Biomarkers in Skin Biopsies Differentiate Painful From Painless Peripheral Neuropathy in Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesFrontiers in Pain Research, 2021
Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy can be intractable with a major impact, yet the underlying pain mechanisms remain uncertain. A range of neuronal and vascular biomarkers was investigated in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (painful-DPN) and ...

Phosphorylation State of ZFP24 Controls Oligodendrocyte Differentiation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Zinc finger protein ZFP24, formerly known as ZFP191, is essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which ZFP24 controls these processes is unknown.

Is the phoenix sign phenomenon due to vasodilation? A double-blinded, randomized controlled trial comparing motor function recovery after diagnostic common fibular nerve block with lidocaine and papaverine

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Focal entrapment of the common fibular (peroneal) nerve (CFN) is the most common nerve entrapment in the lower extremity. Accurate diagnosis can be difficult due to co-existent pathology such as low back pathology.
