This study investigates the role of ATF3 in pain following tissue damage, finding that axonal injury is necessary and sufficient for ATF3 induction, while inflammation and action potential conduction are not required.

The paper identifies and characterizes a novel dorsal cutaneous muscle in rodents through anatomical dissection and microscopy, proposing a name for it if confirmed as new.

The paper constructs a searchable database of RNA-Seq data from spinal cord injury experiments to enable cross-study and cross-species analysis.

This study shows that inducing collateral sprouting in uninjured sensory neurons in vivo primes them for enhanced axon outgrowth in vitro without axonal injury.

The paper presents a framework for reanalyzing Affymetrix GeneChip data using functional regions of interest, improving probe mapping and detection of gene expression changes.
