Multimodal transcriptomics and calcium imaging reveal a novel subset of polymodal nociceptors expressing the interleukin 1 receptor in mice

Camille Illiano, Dominic Bélanger, Harrison J. Stratton, Nicolas Vallières, Nadia Fortin, Martine Lessard, Louison Brochoire, Marine Christin, Yves De Koninck, Reza Sharif‐Naeini, Sarah E. Ross, Manon Defaye, Feng Wang, Steve Lacroix

The paper identifies a novel subset of IL-1R1+ nociceptors in mice using multimodal transcriptomics and calcium imaging, revealing their role in inflammatory pain.

Immunoglobulins are rapidly internalized by neurons after CNS injury and cleared through lysosomal degradation

Adrian Castellanos-Molina, Ana Boisvert, Juliette Ferry, Dominic Bélanger, Audrée Laroche, Romain Menet, Frederique Crepeau, Martine Lessard, Nadia Fortin, Nicolas Vallières, Isabelle Allaeys, Nicolas Bertrand, Ayman ElAli, Éric Boilard, Steve Lacroix

This study shows that neurons internalize and clear immunoglobulins after CNS injury through lysosomal degradation, and inhibiting lysosomal proteases increases IgG retention without affecting locomotor recovery.
