DRG meningeal tertiary lymphoid structures are regulated by B cells as a pronociceptive locus after peripheral nerve injury

Tusar Kanta Acharya, Vipul K. Pandey, Kendal F. Willcox, Nathan T. Fiore, Gabriel V. Lucena-Silva, Jayden A. O'Brien, Allison M. Barry, Joseph B. Lesnak, Sever M Zagrai, David M. Ruiz, Younus A. Zuberi, Michael J. Lacagnina, Pooja Singhmar, Lisa Janssen, Abbie V. Viscardi, , Peter M. Grace

The paper shows that B cell-derived IgG in DRG meninges forms tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) that drive neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury, and disrupting TLSs prevents pain.

Preconditioning by voluntary wheel running attenuates later neuropathic pain via Nrf2 antioxidant signaling in rats

Suzanne M. Green‐Fulgham, Michael E. Harland, Jayson B. Ball, Jiahe Li, Michael J. Lacagnina, Heather D'Angelo, Renee A. Dreher, Kendal F. Willcox, Sabina A. Lorca, Andrew J. Kwilasz, Steven F. Maier, Linda R. Watkins, Peter M. Grace

This study shows that voluntary wheel running before sciatic nerve injury reduces neuropathic pain in rats by enhancing antioxidant defenses through Nrf2 signaling.
