A new study finds that reducing mitochondrial ETC activity shields TRPV1⁺ nociceptors from excitotoxic damage by limiting calcium and ROS, revealing a built-in neuroprotective strategy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Mitochondrial activity tunes nociceptor resilience to excitotoxicity
The capsaicin receptor, TRPV1, mediates the detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli by nociceptors, primary sensory neurons of the pain path…

Amazing talk by @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social on progress in our understanding of pain mechanisms using human DRG and spinal cord. Really cool data on spinal projection neurons in human spinal cord. This is quite amazing!

What a fantastic way to start the year! The KoiralaLab (unfortunately not here yet) have just developed RNA derived antibodies to visualize RNA in live cells! This seems to be a promising alternative to the MCP-MS2 system whilst offering potential multiplexing capabilities.
