NGF-mediated photoablation of nociceptors reduces pain behavior in mice

Linda Nocchi, Carla Portulano, Federica Franciosa, B Doleshall, Mirela Panea, Nainika Roy, Mariano Maffei, Alessandra Gargano, Emerald Perlas, Paul A. Heppenstall

This paper describes a method to selectively photoablate nociceptors in mice using a modified NGF ligand and NIR light, reducing pain behaviors in multiple pain models.
