Opioids are analgesic drugs consumed non-medically for euphoric feelings and medically for pain relief most important in regulating the response to nociception, i.e. the response of the nervous system to painful Given their pathophysiological significance in pain, addiction and depression opioid receptors represent pain conditions, but their use is overshadowed by their side effects and by the development of dependence Complex Persistent Opioid Dependence-an Opioid-induced Chronic Pain Syndrome.
- Building Backwards: Why Top-Down Models Could Revolutionize Pain Research
Watch Episode 170 Thinking Differently Pain research has long followed a familiar route: from molecule conventional bottom-up approach often fails to deliver therapies that truly help patients, especially in the pain patient-centric and behavior-first approach uncovered robust gene expression signatures linked to pain Why This Approach Matters In pain research, bottom-up approaches often fail to translate. Alex Serafini makes the case for building pain research from the clinic down, not the bench up. _____

- TRPM3 in the eye and in the nervous system - from new findings to novel mechanisms
August 2022 "The calcium-permeable cation channel TRPM3 can be activated by heat and the endogenous steroid pregnenolone sulfate. TRPM3's best understood function is its role as a peripheral noxious heat sensor in mice. However, the channel is expressed in various tissues and cell types including neurons as well as glial and epithelial cells. TRPM3 expression patterns differ between species and change during development. Furthermore, a plethora of TRPM3 variants that result from alternative splicing have been identified and the majority of these isoforms are yet to be characterized. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying regulation of TRPM3 are largely unexplored. In addition, a micro-RNA gene (miR-204) is located within the TRPM3 gene. This complexity makes it difficult to obtain a clear picture of TRPM3 characteristics. However, a clear picture is needed to unravel TRPM3's full potential as experimental tool, diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. Therefore, the newest data related to TRPM3 have to be discussed and to be put in context as soon as possible to be up-to-date and to accelerate the translation from bench to bedside. The aim of this review is to highlight recent results and developments with particular focus on findings from studies involving ocular tissues and cells or peripheral neurons of rodents and humans."
