I was extremely lucky to receive two RO1s in the current climate literally just before the fiscal year end and government shutdown🙏 I so wish this was the story of all academic scientists in the US. #savescience

New episode of The Pain Beat just dropped! A key route to identify new pain treatments is gaining traction. Hear more about it at the Pain Research Form. https://t.co/QdMsldt7Dg @PainResForum @IASPpain @psalmotoxin @SutherlandPhD

ICYMI: Good news! The House rejected the proposed 40% NIH funding cut. The bill released has NIH funded at $48 billion, almost identical to the Senate’s number of $48.7 billion.

Single cell seq studies typically use a single mouse strain. To determine how genetic diversity affects brain cell composition, we performed snRNA-seq on 14 different mouse strains. Found that components of neurovascular unit-pericytes and endothelial cells-show greatest

Modulation of human dorsal root ganglion neuron firing by the Nav1.8 inhibitor suzetrigine | PNAS

Original: Drs. @jaclynnmerlo, @shivanibr et al. discovered that TrkBT1, not full-length TrkB, is the main isoform in trigeminal nociceptors. It modulates BDNF-induced sensitization & survival, redefining TrkBT1 as an active player in pain signaling Full:

Our paper @TheJournal_Pain challenges old labels: TrkB isnt just an A-LTMR marker. Its truncated isoform is expressed and functional in trigeminal nociceptors, opening new avenues for studying the receptor in pathological pain #painresearch
