New pre-print from @phar.cam.ac.uk & Bellefroid lab at ULB! Led by @mayadannawi.bsky.social w support from @interlukein.bsky.social & more! We investigate impact of overexpressing the zinc finger transcriptional regulator Prdm12 on sensory neuron function / joint pain. #neuroskyence #PainResearch

AAV-mediated overexpression of Prdm12 in knee-innervating afferents reduces inflammatory joint pain and neuronal hyperexcitability in mice
Inflammatory joint pain features in numerous musculoskeletal disorders that affect millions globally. The Prdm12 gene encodes a conserved zinc finger transcriptional regulator expressed selectively in...

Riding the year out on a high ✨ - latest paper out now in @pnas.org! ☺️ 🙏 Here we describe a role for the proton-sensing GPCR, GPR65 in mediating joint pain from fibroblast-like synoviocytes! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #PainResearch #Neuroskyence More on this work below 👇 🧵 [1/10]

Inflammation is associated with localized acidosis, however, attributing physiological and pathological roles to proton-sensitive receptors is chal...

Pain = main driver of clinical decision making in osteoarthritis (OA). Our lab studies OA pain mechanisms. During OA, multiple cell-cell interactions occur, many mediators being released that alter the contents of the synovial fluid. #PainResearch #Neuroskyence journals.lww.com/pain/Fulltex...
