Prevention and reversal of latent sensitization of dorsal horn neurons by glial blockers in a model of low back pain in male rats

Juanjuan Zhang, +3 more
- 14 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that blocking microglial activation prevented the NGF-induced latent spinal sensitization, whereas blocking astrocyte activation reversed it, and the induction of spinal neuronal sensitization in this pain model appears to depend on microglia activation, whereas its maintenance is regulated by activated astroCytes.
