New pre-print from @phar.cam.ac.uk & Bellefroid lab at ULB! Led by @mayadannawi.bsky.social w support from @interlukein.bsky.social & more! We investigate impact of overexpressing the zinc finger transcriptional regulator Prdm12 on sensory neuron function / joint pain. #neuroskyence #PainResearch
AAV-mediated overexpression of Prdm12 in knee-innervating afferents reduces inflammatory joint pain and neuronal hyperexcitability in mice
Inflammatory joint pain features in numerous musculoskeletal disorders that affect millions globally. The Prdm12 gene encodes a conserved zinc finger transcriptional regulator expressed selectively in...

It was a wonderful experience! A lot of interesting questions!
Thank you to our three wonderful speakers @neuroniv.bsky.social, Carl Ashworth and @mayadannawi.bsky.social for a fun and painless intro to the neuroscience of pain this week at Neurotalks!
Join us next time, Wed 12 February, for a theme just right for Valentines Day....💕

Riding the year out on a high ✨ - latest paper out now in @pnas.org! ☺️ 🙏
Here we describe a role for the proton-sensing GPCR, GPR65 in mediating joint pain from fibroblast-like synoviocytes!

Congratulations Luke!! Perfect news to end the year! 🎉
I’m so happy to see this out! ☺️ I’ve been working on this >6 years - many setbacks along the way, but they've made getting this published all the more rewarding - perseverance is worth it! 💪
Very thankful for the support of @psalmotoxin.bsky.social, @mayadannawi.bsky.social & others! 🧵[10/10]

Pain = main driver of clinical decision making in osteoarthritis (OA). Our lab studies OA pain mechanisms.
During OA, multiple cell-cell interactions occur, many mediators being released that alter the contents of the synovial fluid.
