Mitogen- and stress-activated kinase 1 in primary sensory neurons contributes to formalin-induced tonic pain

open access: yesPAIN Reports
. Introduction:. The nuclear mitogen- and stress-activated kinases (MSKs) play a critical role in the development and persistence of pain after tissue injury. Objectives:. Here, we ascertained the MSK isoform, the cells and mechanisms, which mediate MSKs'

Nociceptor-Enriched Genes Required for Normal Thermal Nociception

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Here, we describe a targeted reverse genetic screen for thermal nociception genes in Drosophila larvae. Using laser capture microdissection and microarray analyses of nociceptive and non-nociceptive neurons, we identified 275 nociceptor-enriched genes ...

Lifting the veil on the keratinocyte contribution to cutaneous nociception

open access: yesProtein & Cell, 2020
Cutaneous nociception is essential to prevent individuals from sustaining injuries. According to the conventional point of view, the responses to noxious stimuli are thought to be exclusively initiated by sensory neurons, whose activity would be at most ...

Deletion of annexin 2 light chain p11 in nociceptors causes deficits in somatosensory coding and pain behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The S100 family protein p11 (S100A10, annexin 2 light chain) is involved in the trafficking of the voltage-gated sodium channel Na(V)1.8, TWIK-related acid-sensitive K+ channel (TASK-1), the ligand-gated ion channels acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a ...

Gamma oscillations in somatosensory cortex recruit prefrontal and descending serotonergic pathways in aversion and nociception

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
In humans, gamma-band oscillations in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) correlate with subjective pain perception. However, functional contributions to pain and the nature of underlying circuits are unclear.

Beyond Inflammation: Why Understanding the Brain Matters in Inflammatory Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Persistent pain remains a major challenge in inflammatory arthritis, even when joint inflammation is well controlled. Pain and associated symptoms such as fatigue cannot be explained by peripheral inflammation alone but reflect altered central pain processing. These changes may arise through “top‐down” mechanisms, reflecting pre‐existing dysfunction in

Analgesia Nociception Index: assessment of acute postoperative pain [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Anestesiologia
Background and objectives Patient self-rating based scales such as Numerical Rating Scale, Visual Analog Scale that is used for postoperative pain assessment may be problematic in geriatric or critically ill patients with communication problems. A method

Wearable Haptic Feedback Interfaces for Augmenting Human Touch

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The wearable haptic feedback interfaces enhance user experience in gaming, social media, biomedical instrumentation, and robotics by generating tactile sensations. This review discusses and categorizes current haptic feedback interfaces into force, thermal, and electrotactile stimulation‐based haptic feedback interfaces, elucidating their current ...
