The paper examines molecular and physiological changes in dorsal root ganglia from individuals with and without opioid use disorder, identifying altered neuroimmune signatures and sensitized sensory neurons.

This study identifies a neural circuit involving the subfornical organ and infralimbic cortex that modulates fear responses to carbon dioxide, linking interoceptive signals to fear behavior.

This study shows that PAR2 endosomal signaling amplifies and sustains histamine-induced pain in IBS by maintaining H1R activity.

This study identifies an interoceptive circuit between the subfornical organ and infralimbic cortex that mediates airway inflammation's impact on fear extinction in mice.

This paper identifies NRP1 as a co-receptor for NGF and TrkA pain signaling and shows that targeting NRP1 or GIPC1 can reduce chronic pain without opioid use.

This study uses single nucleus transcriptomics to characterize human DRG neurons and identifies both conserved and human-specific cell types.

This study shows that resolvin D3 reduces skin inflammation and itch in psoriasis models by inhibiting nociceptive functions in both mice and human neurons.
