Abstract

P2X receptors on dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons have been strongly implicated in pathological nociception after peripheral nerve injuries or inflammation. However, nothing is known of a role for purinergic receptors in neuropathic pain produced by a chronic compression of DRG (CCD) - an injury that may accompany an intraforaminal stenosis, a laterally herniated disc or other disorders of the spine leading to radicular pain. In a rat model of DRG compression, hyperexcitable neurons retain functioning axonal connections with their peripheral targets. It is unknown whether such hyperexcitability might enhance chemically mediated nociceptive stimulation of the skin. In this study, CCD facilitated the nocifensive behavior and mechanical hyperalgesia-induced by the P2X 3 agonist, alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP). An injection of alpha,beta-meATP into the hind paw of CCD rats resulted in a significantly greater decrease in the mean threshold to von Frey stimuli and a greater duration of paw lifts than in sham-operated control rats. CCD also increased the levels of P2X 3 receptor protein and the number of P2X 3 immunoreactive, small diameter DRG neurons in the compressed ganglion. P2X 3 receptors were co-labeled with the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
