Thrilled to share our latest preprint using single nuq sequencing and Xenium to define neuron organisation and sex differences in glia within human spinal cord. Truly a collaborative effort, with a big shoutout to Katherin Gabriel and @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A molecular map of the human spinal dorsal and ventral horn defines arrangement of neuronal types and glial sex differences
The spinal cord is the gateway for sensory information from the body as it ascends to the brain, as well as a major motor output center of the nervous system. It is also a key location for sensory-mot...

Characterisation of cold-selective lamina I spinal projection neurons
Skin cooling is detected by primary afferents that express the Trpm8 channel, but how this information is conveyed to the brain remains poorly understood. We have previously identified a population of...

Macrophages amplify the spontaneous activity of damaged sensory neurons in a human co-culture model of neuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain is a highly prevalent condition for which treatments are hampered by low efficacy and dose-limiting side-effects. Injury to the somatosensory nervous system causes maladaptive plastic...

Expression of Tacr1 and Gpr83 by spinal projection neurons
Anterolateral system (ALS) projection neurons underlie perception of pain, itch and skin temperature. These cells are heterogeneous, and there have therefore been many attempts to define functional po...
