Targeting CXCR2 in Nociceptive Sensory Neurons Offers Novel Therapeutic Potentials for Postoperative Pain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tissue incision induces CXCL5 release, which activates neuronal CXCR2 on incision‐innervating sensory neurons. Neuronal CXCR2 couples with TRPA1 to drive mechanical pain and engages p38 MAPK signaling to upregulate TRPV1 and promote heat pain. Targeted Cxcr2 knockdown relieves incisional pain while preserving CXCR2‐dependent neutrophil responses ...

Acupuncture Alleviates Allergic Rhinitis by Activating the AMPK/PGC‐1α Pathway to Attenuate Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress and Restore Epithelial Barrier Function

open access: yesFlavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Acupuncture at Feishu (BL13), Shenshu (BL23), Yingxiang (LI20), and Dazhui (GV14) alleviates allergic rhinitis by activating the AMPK/PGC‐1α/NRF1/TFAM signalling axis. This activation improves mitochondrial biogenesis and function, reduces mtROS‐mediated oxidative stress, restores ATP production and respiratory complex I/IV activity, suppresses IgE and

Perivascular Matrix Densification Dysregulates Angiogenesis and Activates Pro‐Inflammatory Endothelial Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Perivascular matrix densification promotes the emergence of aberrant endothelial tip cells (ATECs) that invade and persist within fibrotic microenvironments. Using in vivo lineage tracing and a human microvessel model, this study shows that fibrous matrix cues destabilize VE‐cadherin–mediated junctions to gate TGF‐β signaling, inducing a pro ...
