Wellcome Open Research, 2018 Background: Sensory neurons play an essential role in almost all pain conditions, and have recently been classified into distinct subsets on the basis of their transcriptomes. Here we have analysed alterations in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) gene expression

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 ...

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

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 ...

Pain without Nociceptors? Nav1.7-Independent Pain Mechanisms
Cell Reports, 2014 Nav1.7, a peripheral neuron voltage-gated sodium channel, is essential for pain and olfaction in mice and humans. We examined the role of Nav1.7 as well as Nav1.3, Nav1.8, and Nav1.9 in different mouse models of chronic pain.

Wellcome Open Research, 2018 Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.

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

Changes in Activity of the Same Thalamic Neurons to Repeated Nociception in Behaving Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The sensory thalamus has been reported to play a key role in central pain sensory modulation and processing, but its response to repeated nociception at thalamic level is not well known.

Molecular Pain, 2015 Background Trigeminal neuralgia is accompanied by severe mechanical, thermal and chemical hypersensitivity of the orofacial area innervated by neurons of trigeminal ganglion (TG).

Nature Communications, 2022 The processing of nociception in the somatosensory cortex (S1) has yet to be fully understood. Here, the authors demonstrate that the dysgranular region in S1 has an affinity for nociception and is critically involved in pain-like behavior.
