The most superficial layers (laminae I–III) of the spinal cord dorsal horn (DH) gray matter have a fundamental role in the transmission and the modulation of peripheral nociceptive sensory messages.

A research group led by Associate Professor Naoko Inoue (she/her), doctoral student Safiullah Hazim (he/him), Associate Professor Yoshihisa Uenoyama (he/him), and Professor Hiroko Tsukamura (she/her) ...

Levels of neurotransmitters such as ATP in the brain can indicate brain health and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. However, the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes it ...

As you sample all the treats that the holiday season has to offer, be thankful for adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP). New research suggests that this molecule, typically associated with processing ...

Previous studies have suggested that a common neurotransmitter, adenine triphosphate (ATP), may be involved in the signalling process that occurs between glial cells and nerve cells. As reported in ...

Neurotransmitter levels in the brain can indicate brain health and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. However, the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes delivering fluorescent sensors ...

Glial cells may modulate the release of neurotransmitters -- chemicals that relay signals between nerve cells -- by increasing the acidity of the extracellular environment. Researchers have long ...
