High-threshold mechanosensitive ion channels blocked by a novel conopeptide mediate pressure-evoked pain [PDF]

, 2007
Little is known about the molecular basis of somatosensory mechanotransduction in mammals. We screened a library of peptide toxins for effects on mechanically activated currents in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons.

Quantitative sensory testing in painful hand osteoarthritis demonstrates features of peripheral sensitisation. [PDF]

, 2012
Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is a prevalent condition for which treatments are based on analgesia and physical therapies. Our primary objective was to evaluate pain perception in participants with HOA by assessing the characteristics of nodal involvement ...

Deciphering pain: molecular mechanisms and neurochemical pathways–challenges and future opportunities

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
This review delves into the intricate biological underpinnings of pain perception. It encompasses nociceptive signaling pathways, the molecular mechanisms involved, and the subjective experience of discomfort in humans. The initial focus is on nociceptor

TRPV1-expressing primary afferents generate behavioral responses to pruritogens via multiple mechanisms [PDF]

, 2009
The mechanisms that generate itch are poorly understood at both the molecular and cellular levels despite its clinical importance. To explore the peripheral neuronal mechanisms underlying itch, we assessed the behavioral responses (scratching) produced ...

A Replicable and Generalizable Neuroimaging‐Based Indicator of Pain Sensitivity Across Individuals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Humans differ in their sensitivity to pain. With six large and diverse fMRI datasets (total N = 1046), this study finds that such individual differences in pain sensitivity can be tracked by fMRI responses to painful stimuli. A highly generalizable machine learning model is further built to predict pain sensitivity across all datasets and analgesic ...

Immune or genetic-mediated disruption of CASPR2 causes pain hypersensitivity due to enhanced primary afferent excitability [PDF]

, 2018
Human autoantibodies to contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) are often associated with neuropathic pain, and CASPR2 mutations have been linked to autism spectrum disorders, in which sensory dysfunction is increasingly recognized.

Synaptic Dysfunction in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex Underlies Pain‐Anxiety Comorbidity in a Mandibular Asymmetry Mouse Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes a mandibular asymmetry (MA) mouse model that recapitulates chronic orofacial pain and anxiety comorbidity. Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) hyperactivation and synaptic dysfunction are identified as central neural mechanisms underlying these pathologies, with chemogenetic inhibition of ACC CaMKII+ neurons effectively reversing ...

Fibromyalgia: A Unifying Neuroendocrinologic Model for Understanding Its Pathophysiology [PDF]

, 2008
Fibromyalgia is believed to affect at least 2% of the population. Despite advances in the scientific understanding of the derangements of central and peripheral pain processing mechanisms in fibromyalgia, no current models of its pathophysiology account ...
