This study identifies Nav1.5 in TrkB+ sensory neurons as a driver of paclitaxel-induced mechanical pain hypersensitivity in mice, with potential translational relevance to humans.

This study identifies GM-CSF as a key mediator of vertebral bone marrow emergency myelopoiesis in neuropathic pain, linking meningeal immunity to pain pathogenesis.

This study identifies PD-L1+ neutrophils as mediators of susceptibility to endotoxemia in MAFLD, showing that targeting IFN-γ or PD-L1 reduces inflammation and liver damage.

This study compares how two NET-targeting drugs, rhDNase and GSK484, affect T cell responses in SARS-CoV-2 infection, showing differing impacts on adaptive immunity.

This study identifies the kynurenine metabolic pathway as a key factor in sustaining neuropathic pain through interactions between meningeal dendritic cells and astrocytes.

This study shows that the carotid body detects circulating TNF-α and activates a sympathetic anti-inflammatory reflex in rats.
