Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the nociceptor transcriptome.

TL;DR: Using genome-wide RNA-sequencing, an unprecedented insight is given into the molecular composition of small nociceptive neurons in the DRG, potentially altering the interpretation of previous studies performed at the tissue level, and indicating a number of novel markers of this widely-studied population of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Sex, Age, and Positivity Threshold on Fecal Immunochemical Test Accuracy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In a meta-analysis of studies that analyzed detection of CRC and advanced adenomas at different FIT positivity thresholds, the sensitivity and specificity of detection to vary with positive cut-off value is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient decrease in nociceptor GRK2 expression produces long–term enhancement in inflammatory pain

TL;DR: Rats treated with GRK2 AS-ODN exhibited enhanced and prolonged hyperalgesia induced by direct activation of second messengers, adenyl cyclase, Epac or PKA, suggesting changes downstream of G-protein-coupled receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of a novel nociceptor autocrine mechanism in chronic pain

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the delayed onset, PKCε‐mediated, component of PGE2 hyperalgesia is generated by the active release of a nucleotide from the peripheral terminal of the primed nociceptor and this nucleotide is then metabolized to produce adenosine is tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial dependence of nerve growth factor-induced mechanical hyperalgesia

TL;DR: Inhibition of 3 major mitochondrial functions—oxidation of nutrients, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and generation of reactive oxygen species—markedly attenuated NGF‐induced mechanical hyperalgesia in the rat.
