The paper characterizes mechanically activated currents in trigeminal neurons of non-human primates, identifying distinct neuronal subtypes and their functional properties.

This study models referred pain in mice by stimulating masticatory muscles and finds that TM stimulation induces longer-lasting headache-like behavior and gene plasticity in referred sites.

This study examines gene expression changes in male and female mice following paclitaxel-induced neuropathy, finding sex-dependent gene plasticity linked to tissue regeneration and degeneration.

This study examines sensory nerve types innervating masticatory muscles in common marmosets, finding distinct innervation patterns with differences in fiber types across muscle groups.

This study profiles non-neuronal and immune cells in mouse trigeminal ganglia using scRNA-seq, FC, and IHC, identifying and classifying cell types based on gene expression and markers.

This study investigates how inflammation and tissue damage in masseter muscle relate to the resolution of chronic myalgia using CFA and collagenase-induced models.

This study identifies sex-specific neuroendocrine mechanisms in chronic pain, showing that prolactin receptor signaling in sensory neurons contributes to hyperalgesic priming in females but not males.
