This study investigates the role of mechanoreceptors and nociceptors in spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain, finding that early mechanoreceptor ablation reduces pain behavior, while nociceptor hyperexcitability and sprouting are key drivers of pain.

This study shows that damaging intermediate gray matter in the lumbar spinal cord of rats causes long-term locomotor deficits, with machine learning confirming the link to interneuronal loss.

The paper identifies PP4-dependent HDAC3 dephosphorylation as a mechanism distinguishing axonal regeneration from regenerative failure in nerve injuries.

This study identifies post-transcriptional regulation by Cpeb1 as a mechanism enhancing CNS axonal regeneration in mice and Drosophila.
