Bradykinin (BK) is an inflammatory mediator and one of the most potent endogenous pain-inducing substances. When released at sites tissue damage or inflammation, applied exogenously, BK produces acute spontaneous pain causes hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to potentially painful stimuli). The mechanisms underlying induced by are poorly understood. Here we report that in small nociceptive neurons from rat dorsal root ganglia, BK, acting through its B2 receptors, PLC, release calcium...

The activity of specific inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels is regulated by any a number different modulators, such as protein kinase C, G(q) -coupled receptor stimulation, pH, intracellular Mg(2+) or the betagamma-subunits G proteins. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) an essential factor for maintenance all Kir channels. Here, we demonstrate that strength channel-PIP(2) interactions determines sensitivity to regulation various modulators. Furthermore, our results...

The integration of somatosensory information is generally assumed to be a function the central nervous system (CNS). Here we describe fully functional GABAergic communication within rodent peripheral sensory ganglia and show that it can modulate transmission pain-related signals from nerves CNS. We found neurons express major proteins necessary for GABA synthesis release released in response depolarization. In vivo focal infusion or reuptake inhibitor dramatically reduced acute peripherally...

Electrical excitation of peripheral somatosensory nerves is a first step in generation most pain signals mammalian nervous system. Such controlled by an intricate set ion channels that are coordinated to produce degree proportional the strength external stimulation. However, many disease states this coordination disrupted resulting deregulated excitability which, turn, may underpin pathological (i.e. migraine, neuralgia, neuropathic and inflammatory pains). One major groups essential for...

We identified major ion channels influencing the resting membrane potential of nociceptive sensory neurons and demonstrated that changes somatic/perisomatic these can strongly influence peripheral transmission. Peripheral ganglia contain somata afferent fibres conveying somatosensory inputs to central nervous system. Growing evidence suggests region Control (Erest) is an important mechanism regulating excitability, but surprisingly little known about how Erest regulated in neuron or affect...

Accumulating observations suggest that peripheral somatosensory ganglia may regulate nociceptive transmission, yet direct evidence is sparse. Here, in experiments on rats and mice, we show the afferent information undergoes dynamic filtering within dorsal root ganglion (DRG) this occurs at axonal bifurcations (t-junctions). Using synchronous vivo electrophysiological recordings from central processes of sensory neurons (in spinal nerve root), ganglionic transplantation GABAergic progenitor...

Nowadays, the development of wide-bandgap perovskite by thermal evaporation and spin-coating hybrid sequential deposition (HSD) method has special meaning on textured perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. However, common issues insufficient reaction caused blocking capping layer are exacerbated in HSD, because evaporated precursors usually denser with higher crystallinity widely used additive-assisted microstructure is also difficult to access. Here, a facile "diffusible layer" (DPCL)...

Depression symptoms are often found in patients suffering from chronic pain, a phenomenon that is yet to be understood mechanistically. Here, we systematically investigate the cellular mechanisms and circuits underlying chronic-pain-induced depression behavior. We show development of pain accompanied by depressive-like behaviors mouse model trigeminal neuralgia. In parallel, observe increased activity dopaminergic (DA) neuron midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA), inhibition this elevated...

Mixed halide wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites, widely used as a top-cell absorber in tandem solar cells, exhibit severe photoinduced phase segregation. A feasible solution is to exploit pure-iodide WBG essentially increasing Cs content instead of Br achieve bandgap widening. However, the efficiency pure-iodine perovskite cells (PSCs) reported so far has been inferior that typical mixed PSCs due complex nucleation and transition processes, leading poor crystallization quality high density...

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induces the production of granulocyte and macrophage populations from hematopoietic progenitor cells; it is one most common growth factors in blood. GM-CSF also involved bone cancer pain development by regulating tumor-nerve interactions, remodeling peripheral nerves, sensitization damage-sensing (nociceptive) nerves. However, precise mechanism for GM-CSF-dependent unclear. In this study, we found that highly expressed human malignant...
