DRG meningeal tertiary lymphoid structures are regulated by B cells as a pronociceptive locus after peripheral nerve injury

Tusar Kanta Acharya, Vipul K. Pandey, Kendal F. Willcox, Nathan T. Fiore, Gabriel V. Lucena-Silva, Jayden A. O'Brien, Allison M. Barry, Joseph B. Lesnak, Sever M Zagrai, David M. Ruiz, Younus A. Zuberi, Michael J. Lacagnina, Pooja Singhmar, Lisa Janssen, Abbie V. Viscardi, , Peter M. Grace

The paper shows that B cell-derived IgG in DRG meninges forms tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) that drive neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury, and disrupting TLSs prevents pain.

FL/FLT3 signaling enhances mechanical pain hypersensitivity through Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in male mice

Corinne Sonrier, Chamroen Sar, Ivo S.F. Melo, Lucie Dioufoulet, Gabriel V. Lucena-Silva, Sylvie Mallié, Juliette Bertin, Jean-Philippe Leyris, Fabrice Ango, Thiago M. Cunha, Hamid Moha ou Maati, Jean Valmier, Cyril Rivat, Ilana Méchaly

This study shows FL/FLT3 signaling increases mechanical pain hypersensitivity via IL-1β in male mice, with IL-1β mediating FL's effects on TRPV1 and pain responses.
