Cancer chemotherapy in early life significantly alters the maturation of pain processing (2017)
Journal Article
Hathway, G. J., Murphy, E., Lloyd, J., Greenspon, C. M., & Hulse, R. P. (2017). Cancer chemotherapy in early life significantly alters the maturation of pain processing. Neuroscience, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2017.11.032

Advances in paediatric cancer treatment have led to a ten year survival rate greater than 75%. Platinum-based chemotherapies (e.g.cisplatin) induce peripheral sensory neuropathy in adult and paedriatric cancer patients. The period from birth through...

Age-dependent plasticity in endocannabinoid modulation of pain processing through postnatal development (2017)
Journal Article
H-T. Kwok, C., Devonshire, I. M., Imraish, A., Greenspon, C. M., Lockwood, S., Fielden, C., …Hathway, G. J. (2017). Age-dependent plasticity in endocannabinoid modulation of pain processing through postnatal development. PAIN, 158(11), 2222-2232. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001027

Significant age and experience-dependent remodelling of spinal and supraspinal neural networks occur resulting in altered pain responses in early life. In adults endogenous opioid peptide and endocannabinoid (ECs) pain control systems exist which mod...
