The paper identifies a neuronal pathway in mice for relaying warm and cool sensations through the anterolateral tract, showing that specific neurons are tuned to innocuous temperature changes.

This study identifies PIEZO1 as a mechanosensor driving inflammation-permissive macrophage phenotypes in synovial tissue, contributing to joint inflammation in RA.

This study shows that NPY-expressing inhibitory interneurons in the spinal dorsal horn reduce pain and itch behaviors, suggesting they are potential targets for treating pathological pain and itch.

This study identifies calretinin-positive neurons in the spinal cord dorsal horn as part of an excitatory network that amplifies pain signals and is a potential target for analgesic therapies.
