The circular RNA landscape of human dorsal root ganglia and its association with opioid exposure

Maddy R. Koch, Jenna B. Demeter, Mark W Shilling, Sascha R.A. Alles, Karin N. Westlund, Reza Ehsanian, June Bryan de la Peña

The paper examines circRNA expression in human dorsal root ganglia (hDRG) under opioid exposure and identifies differentially expressed circRNAs and their potential regulatory roles in pain pathways.
