A role for fibroblast and mural cell subsets in a nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain.

Sara Villa‐Hernández, Julia M. Vlachaki Walker, Zoe Lee Hore, Laura Fedele, Irene Zebochin, Yuening Li, Harvey Davis, Takashi Kanda, Fumitaka Shimizu, Leonie S. Taams, Franziska Denk

This paper identifies Pdgfrb+ fibroblast and mural cells as contributors to neuropathic pain by showing their increased numbers and expression of pro-algesic mediators in a mouse model.

Comparative transcriptional analysis of the satellite glial cell injury response

Sara E. Jager, Lone Tjener Pallesen, Lin Lin, Francesca Izzi, Alana Miranda Pinheiro, Sara Villa‐Hernández, Paolo Cesare, Christian Bjerggaard Vægter, Franziska Denk

This study compares the transcriptional response of satellite glial cells to nerve injury using single-cell RNA-seq and identifies a common signature involving cholesterol biosynthesis regulation.

A transcriptional toolbox for exploring peripheral neuro-immune interactions.

Zhi Liang, Zoe Lee Hore, Peter Harley, Federico Uchenna Stanley, Aleksandra Michrowska, Monica Dahiya, Federica La Russa, Sara E. Jager, Sara Villa‐Hernández, Franziska Denk

The paper characterizes immune responses in a neuropathic pain mouse model and develops a web-based tool for transcriptional data-mining of peripheral neuroimmune interactions.
