The current understanding of axon pathfinding is based mainly on chemical signaling. Howev... Read More about Mechanosensing is critical for axon growth in the developing brain.

Lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs): Potential targets for the treatment of neuropathic pain (2016)
Journal Article
Velasco, M., O'Sullivan, C., & Sheridan, G. K. (2017). Lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs): Potential targets for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Neuropharmacology, 113, 608-617. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropharm.2016.04.002

Neuropathic pain can arise from lesions to peripheral or central nerve fibres leading to spontaneous action potential generation and a lowering of the nociceptive threshold. Clinically, neuropathic pain can manifest in many chronic disease states suc... Read More about Lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs): Potential targets for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
