Disruption of the Nav1.8/Ankyrin-3 interaction in nociceptors reduces pathological pain-like behaviors in mice.
Treating chronic neuropathic pain is challenging due to its complex pathophysiology. Persistent changes in the somatosensory system prolong heightened states of stimulus-evoked and spontaneous pain. Nociceptor dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are key contributors to neuropathic pain due to pathological plasticity fol...
