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.

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 ...

On The Content and Character of Pain Experience [PDF]
, 2019 Tracking representationalism explains the negative affective character of pain, and its capacity to motivate action, by reference to the representation of the badness for us of bodily damage.

Modulation of sensory neuron mechanotransduction by PKC- and nerve growth factor-dependent pathways [PDF]
, 2006 Many sensations of pain are evoked by mechanical stimuli, and in inflammatory conditions, sensitivity to such stimuli is commonly increased. Here we used cultured sensory neurons as a model of the peripheral terminal to investigate the effects of ...

The Role of Kv7/M Potassium Channels in Controlling Ectopic Firing in Nociceptors
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017 Peripheral nociceptive neurons encode and convey injury-inducing stimuli toward the central nervous system. In normal conditions, tight control of nociceptive resting potential prevents their spontaneous activation.

Role of TMEM100 in mechanically insensitive nociceptor un-silencing
Nature Communications, 2023 Silent nociceptors remained enigmatic ever since they were first described decades ago. Here, Nees. et al. show that inflammation-induced upregulation of TMEM100 unsilences silent nociceptors, which triggers secondary mechanical pain hypersensitivity.

TRPA1 mediates aromatase inhibitor-evoked pain by the aromatase substrate androstenedione [PDF]
, 2016 Aromatase inhibitors (AI) induce painful musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS), which are dependent upon the pain transducing receptor TRPA1. However, as the AI concentrations required to engage TRPA1 in mice are higher than those found in the plasma of ...

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials in rat neocortical neurons in vitro. III. Effects of a quinoxalinedione non-NMDA receptor antagonist [PDF]
, 1990 1. Intracellular microelectrodes were used to obtain recordings from neurons in layer II/III of rat frontal cortex. A bipolar electrode positioned in layer IV of the neocortex was used to evoke postsynaptic potentials.
