A review on hydrogen sulfide: Is it pro-nociceptive or anti-nociceptive?
İstanbul Journal of Pharmacy, 2022 Pain is sensed by the activation of painful nociceptors in the periphery or by pain mediators, such as bradykinin, serotonin, histamine, and prostaglandin, released from the damaged tissue, afferent transmission to the medulla spinalis, and by trans- mission stages to the high centers over the dorsal horn. Pain, which was seen as only a warning sign in

Drosophila as a Model to Study the Mechanism of Nociception
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Nociception refers to the process of encoding and processing noxious stimuli, which allow animals to detect and avoid potentially harmful stimuli. Several types of stimuli can trigger nociceptive sensory transduction, including thermal, noxious chemicals,

Capsaicin, Nociception and Pain [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient of the hot chili pepper, is known to act on the transient receptor potential cation channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). TRPV1 is involved in somatic and visceral peripheral inflammation, in the modulation of nociceptive inputs to spinal cord and brain stem centers, as well as the integration of diverse ...

Circulation, 2006 Mechanisms underlying cardiac pain are of major importance in cardiovascular medicine. In this review we address a fundamental clinical and experimental aspect. In particular neural circuitry involved justify a stepwise involvement of central structures responsible of reflex adjustments initiated by peripheral ischemia that can be associated with pain ...

Optogenetics and photopharmacology in pain research and therapeutics
STEMedicine, 2020 Pain afflicts billions of people worldwide, who suffer especially from long-term chronic pain. This gruelling condition affects the nervous system at all levels: from the brain to the spinal cord, the Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) and the peripheral fibres ...

The ankyrin repeat domain of the TRPA protein painless is important for thermal nociception but not mechanical nociception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Drosophila TRPA channel Painless is required for the function of polymodal nociceptors which detect noxious heat and noxious mechanical stimuli. These functions of Painless are reminiscent of mammalian TRPA channels that have also been implicated in ...

Leptin and fractalkine: novel subcutaneous cytokines in burn injury
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020 Burn injury is a pathology underpinned by progressive and aberrant inflammation. It is a major clinical challenge to survival and quality of life. Although the complex local and disseminating pathological processes of a burn injury ultimately stem from ...

Divergent modulation of nociception by glutamatergic and GABAergic neuronal subpopulations in the periaqueductal gray [PDF]
, 2017 The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) constitutes a major descending pain modulatory system and is a crucial site for opioid-induced analgesia. A number of previous studies have demonstrated that glutamate and GABA play critical opposing roles in

Current Biology, 2017 Nociception, the sensory mechanism that allows animals to sense and avoid potentially tissue-damaging stimuli, is critical for survival. This process relies on nociceptors, which are specialized neurons that detect and respond to potentially damaging forms of energy - heat, mechanical and chemical - in the environment.
