Biochemist and PhD in Neuroscience 🇨🇱| Postdoc at Karolinska Institutet @molecularpain.bsky.social 🇸🇪 | Pain + Itch + Skin
Last week at NeuPSIG in Berlin, I shared some new data in skin samples from fibromyalgia patients. Great city🍺, great catch-ups with old friends, and hopefully some exciting steps forward for the pain field!

Altered Sensory and Stress Responses in Atopic Dermatitis: Effects of Acute Stress on Lesional and Non‐Lesional Skin
Itch and pain are both mediated by small sensory fibres. Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients usually report stress-induced flares, but the impact of stress on sensory fibres in lesional and non-lesional ...
