So excited to share our preprint uncovering FGFR3 autoantibodies as pathogenic drivers of pain sensitization. Using patient serum, human DRG and rat models, we found that autoantibodies can find FGFR3 on sensory neurons to induce hyperexcitability and hypersensitivity. #PainResearch #Autoimmunity

Hats off to lead author Tony Lim who drove this project from writing the fellowship application, to establishing new techniques in the lab. We developed a reversible self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) system that encodes innate immune suppression directly within saRNA. Next step, in vivo!
