The degree of acute descending control of spinal nociception in an area of primary hyperalgesia is dependent on the peripheral domain of afferent input [PDF]
Descending controls of spinal nociceptive processing play a critical role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia. Acute peripheral nociceptor sensitization drives spinal sensitization and activates spino–supraspinal–spinal loops leading to ...

Multicenter assessment of quantitative sensory testing (QST) for the detection of neuropathic-like pain responses using the topical capsaicin model [PDF]
Background: The use of quantitative sensory testing (QST) in multicenter studies has been quite limited, due in part to lack of standardized procedures among centers. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the application of the capsaicin pain model

Research Progress on Alternative Methods of Skin Sensitization Test
Allergic contact dermatitis is a type Ⅳ hypersensitivity reaction caused by repeated skin exposure to a substance and is a common public health problem. Traditional skin sensitization tests are based on animal experiments such as guinea pig maximum test ...

Doubling your payoff: winning pain relief engages endogenous pain inhibition [PDF]
When in pain, pain relief is much sought after, particularly for individuals with chronic pain. In analogy to augmentation of the hedonic experience (“liking”) of a reward by the motivation to obtain a reward (“wanting”), the seeking of pain relief in ...

Applying the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for food sensitization to support in vitro testing strategies [PDF]
Background Before introducing proteins from new or alternative dietary sources into the market, a compressive risk assessment including food allergic sensitization should be carried out in order to ensure their safety.

Sensitive skin: an overview [PDF]
SynopsisSensitive skin is a condition of subjective cutaneous hyper‐reactivity to environmental factors. Subjects experiencing this condition report exaggerated reactions when their skin is in contact with cosmetics, soaps and sun screens, and they often report worsening after exposure to dry and cold climate. Although no sign of irritation is commonly

A comprehensive review of the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay in skin sensitization testing: Applicability, limitations, and considerations [PDF]
Skin sensitization is a crucial endpoint in the safety assessment of chemicals, with the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA) emerging as a valuable in chemico method for evaluating a substance's sensitization potential.

The clinical meaning of histamine skin reactivity [PDF]
The definition of the “atopic state”, i.e. subjects presenting at least one skin wheal with a minimum diameter of 3 mm induced by an allergen skin-prick test (ASPT), is based on the assumption that wheal size depends entirely on the amount of histamine
