Defining the nociceptor transcriptome [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2014 Unbiased "omics" techniques, such as next generation RNA-sequencing, can provide entirely novel insights into biological systems. However, cellular heterogeneity presents a significant barrier to analysis and interpretation of these datasets.

Inhibition of visceral nociceptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Abdominal pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consulting a doctor. Despite it being a common clinical presentation, abdominal pain remains a difficult entity to treat. This is a result of multiple factors including time course (i.e., acute vs. chronic), etiology (e.g., inflammatory vs.

Nociceptors: a phylogenetic view [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2009 The ability to react to environmental change is crucial for the survival of an organism and an essential prerequisite is the capacity to detect and respond to aversive stimuli. The importance of having an inbuilt "detect and protect" system is illustrated by the fact that most animals have dedicated sensory afferents which respond to noxious stimuli ...

Pathophysiology, 2022 Pain and nociception are different phenomena. Nociception is the result of complex activity in sensory pathways. On the other hand, pain is the effect of interactions between nociceptive processes, and cognition, emotions, as well as the social context ...

Meis1 Regulates Nociceptor Development and Behavioral Response to Tactile Stimuli
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Nociceptors in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and trigeminal ganglia (TG) are necessary for transmitting pain and itch signals. However, the molecular mechanism regulating nociceptor development remains largely unknown.

Advancing the Understanding of Acupoint Sensitization and Plasticity Through Cutaneous C-Nociceptors
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Acupoint is the key area for needling treatment, but its physiology is not yet understood. Nociceptors, one of the responders in acupoints, are responsible for acupuncture manipulation and delivering acupuncture signals to the spinal or supraspinal level.

Epac and nociceptor sensitization [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2017 Primary sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the peripheral to the central nervous system. Their responses to incoming stimulation become greatly enhanced and prolonged following inflammation, giving rise to exaggerated nociceptive responses and chronic pain.

Deletion of Tsc2 in nociceptors reduces target innervation, ion channel expression, and sensitivity to heat [PDF]
, 2018 The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is known to regulate cellular growth pathways, and its genetic activation is sufficient to enhance regenerative axon growth following injury to the central or peripheral nervous systems.

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 healthârelated 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 ...

On the G-protein-coupled receptor heteromers and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system: focus on their role in pain modulation [PDF]
, 2013 The modulatory role of allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the pain pathways of the Central Nervous System and the peripheral nociceptors has become of increasing interest.
