Huge thanks to everyone who joined the #PRC Lunch at #SfN — inspiring conversations and incredible research collaborations emerged! 🙌🧠 #PRCmembers #SfN #SanDiego #circleJLabs @sfn.org @sdavidson.bsky.social @pazduran.bsky.social @elisadamo.bsky.social

PRIMED Speaker Blake Kimmey (UPenn) Paging the PAG: Pain, Opioids & Relief. Epic talk on Periaqueductal gray opioid circuits for pain aversion & relief. Blake broke down how brain circuits in the PAG decide what hurts and what doesn’t. Stress, booze, and opioids all play a part!

Excited to share my first senior author paper in Pain! 🎉 We identify Synaptojanin 1 & Endophilin A1 as key endocytic mediators of nociception. Silencing them blocks spinal synaptic transmission and relieves pain in cancer & postoperative models, without affecting normal behavior.

And just like that, AMPIRS takes its final bow! 🎬Huge cheers to our grand finale presenters and a confetti cannon 🎉 of congrats to all the Flash Talk, Poster and Oral Presentation champs! 🏆 You dazzled, you delivered, you definitely deserve it! #PRCpride #MPBpride

Curtains down on AMPIRS! Dr. Nigel Bunnett, our MPB Chair, brought it home with closing remarks. Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors and a special shoutout to MPB for hosting AMPIRS & Welcoming the Pain Research Center into the fun! And now… cue the real research question: Wheres happy hour? 🍹😄

@tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social @utdpaincenter.bsky.social Great visit today from Dr. Ted Price! Thank you for wowing us with your team’s exciting data on human DRG tissue, very inspiring and insightful seminar! #painresearch #dorsalrootganglia #humanDRG #nyudental #nyuniversity #nyupainresearch

Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a co-receptor for NGF/TrkA pain signaling. Inhibiting NRP1 can reduce nociceptor activation and NGF-related pain. This important finding by the Bunnett lab and colleagues could lead to a non-opioid alternative for chronic pain treatment. www.jci.org/articles/vie...
