Development and pharmacological characterization of a stable HEK293 cell model for the study of human FLT3 signaling and its pharmacological modulation

The paper develops a stable HEK293 cell line expressing FLT3 for pharmacological studies and shows it effectively models FLT3 signaling and response to inhibitors.

Raf-MEK-ERK signaling mediates FLT3-induced mechanical allodynia and reduced morphine analgesic efficacy in male rodents

This study identifies Raf-MEK-ERK signaling as a pathway linking FLT3 activation to nociceptor sensitization and reduced morphine efficacy in rodents.

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

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.

FLT3 signaling inhibition preserves opioid analgesia while abrogating tolerance and hyperalgesia

This study shows that inhibiting FLT3 signaling preserves opioid analgesia while preventing tolerance and hyperalgesia in chronic pain models.

Activation of neuronal FLT3 promotes exaggerated sensorial and emotional pain-related behaviors facilitating the transition from acute to chronic pain

This study shows that repeated peripheral nerve injury promotes exaggerated pain and mood disorders, which are linked to spinal microglial activation, and that FLT3 inhibition can prevent these effects.

A GABAergic Maf-expressing interneuron subset regulates the speed of locomotion in Drosophila

The paper identifies a subset of GABAergic interneurons in Drosophila larvae that regulate locomotion speed through specific molecular markers.
