Detection of probable neuronal gene expression changes in skin biopsies from patients with paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy - PubMed
Our inability to obtain nerve samples from the vast majority of neuropathic pain patients impedes our ability to understand the disease, creates challenges in understanding mechanisms in specific patient populations, and limits our ability to make treatment decisions based on quantifiable molecular …

New pre-print paper spotlight: A Reference Atlas of the Human Dorsal Root Ganglion

An important resource mapping cell types and molecular features of the human DRG—with major implications for pain research, sensory neuroscience, and translational medicine.

A Reference Atlas of the Human Dorsal Root Ganglion - PubMed
Somatosensory perception largely emerges from diverse peripheral sensory neurons whose cell bodies reside in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Damage or dysfunction of DRG neurons is a major cause of chronic pain and sensory loss. In mice, deep single-cell transcriptomic profiling and genetically defined m …
