The polyadenylation inhibitor cordycepin reduces pain, inflammation and joint pathology in rodent models of osteoarthritis. Scientific Reports, 9(1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-41140-1

Clinically, osteoarthritis (OA) pain is significantly associated with synovial inflammation. Identification of the mechanisms driving inflammation could reveal new targets to relieve this prevalent pain state. Herein, a role of polyadenylation in OA...

© 2018 International Association for the Study of Pain. Anxiety and depression are associated with increased pain responses in chronic pain states. The extent to which anxiety drives chronic pain, or vice versa, remains an important question that has...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of osteoarthritic (OA) joint pathology and pain. The aims of this study were to determine the influence of a passage number on the effects of MSCs on pain behavi...

Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging depicts brain activity in models of acute and chronic pain: a new window to study experimental spontaneous pain? (2017)
Journal Article
Devonshire, I. M., Burston, J., Xu, L., Lillywhite, A., Prior, M., Watson, D. J., …Chapman, V. (2017). Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging depicts brain activity in models of acute and chronic pain: a new window to study experimental spontaneous pain?. NeuroImage, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.06.034

Application of functional imaging techniques to animal models is vital to understand pain mechanisms, but is often confounded by the need to limit movement artefacts with anaesthesia, and a focus on evoked responses rather than clinically relevant sp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic pain is often a symptom of knee osteoarthritis (OA) for which current analgesics are either inadequate, or are associated with serious side effects. The endocannabinoid system may offer alternative targets for pain-rel... Read More about Robust anti-nociceptive effects of MAG lipase inhibition in a model of osteoarthritis pain.
