Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Cell and Gene Therapy in Equine Ocular Disease
Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Equine ocular disease is common and often challenging to treat using traditional methods. This has led to the development of new therapies. Like human medicine, veterinary medicine is adopting cellular and gene therapy as innovative approaches. Equine ocular disease is a particularly promising area for these techniques.
