Scientists have discovered that senescent sensory neurons accumulate with age and nerve injury, releasing inflammatory molecules that heighten pain sensitivity. The findings suggest that targeting ...

In this micrograph of a dorsal root ganglion, the nerves involved in detecting ... Inhibition of natriuretic peptide receptor 1 reduces itch in mice.' view more ...

Both mice and men detect stimuli from the outside world via nerve cells called primary sensory neurons, which reside in clusters along the vertebrae known as dorsal root ganglia (DRG). In his ...

a Flinders University team has revealed a new microsurgical technique whereby specific populations of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) can be removed from mice without interfering with other sensory or ...

In a study published November 8 in Neuron, researchers link spontaneous pain in mice to coordinated firing of nonadjacent neurons in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), which are collections of sensory ...

Researchers are analyzing the origins of how pain is generated by nociceptors in human dorsal root ganglia (DRG ... exist between the nociceptors in mice and humans. That work explained why ...

A meta-analysis of non-human primate (NHP) studies showed that adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy often caused dorsal root ganglion (DRG) pathology. There were no clinical effects.

The FDA has approved expanded MRI labeling for Abbott’s dorsal root ganglion stimulation therapy, which allows those with complex regional pain syndrome to receive full-body MRI scans while ...
