Congratulations @amapruns.bsky.social and all! Can't wait to dig in to this dataset #PainResearch

If you are UK-based and interested in Gut-Immune-Brain Axis research, do sign up to our GIBA+ network and its working groups! You will get access to lots of new contacts, publication and funding opportunities 🧪🧠🤑 #PainResearch #PainScience #neuroskyence #ImmunoSky

The past two decades have seen a global explosion of research into the gut-immune-brain axis. There is great energy in #Southampton today for our #GIBANetworklaunch. Together, we are building a vibrant and diverse research community to fully realise GIBA's potential. Learn more 👉 www.giba-uk.org

New method development work from our lab that I hope will make it easier for labs to work with peripheral nervous system tissues recovered from organ donors, tissue donors, and fast autopsies: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This work was led by the amazing duo of Joe Lesnak and Mandee Schaub

Thanks to everyone who made #NeuPSIG2025 so great, and to the photographer here who somehow managed to capture everyone (?) at this table

Fancy a #neuroskyence trip to Alicante in December? You can propose yourself to give a talk at the 22nd Christmas Meeting of Alicante's Institute for Neurosciences: in.umh-csic.es/en/communica...

On my way home after an excellent trip. First, I went to Poland to visit @mwklab.bsky.social and give a talk together with @gg9761.bsky.social and Jimena Perez-Sanchez. Next, we all went to Berlin 🚂 to participate in #NeuPSIG where I got to hang out with more of my favorite scientists! #PainResearch

Quick reminder as we head into #NeuPSIG that we have a #PainResearch feed and conferences are the best time to force your friends to join bsky bsky.app/profile/did:...

What better way to get excited for #NeuPSIG2025 than a @utdpaincenter.bsky.social test run of our Machine Learning Workshop? #PainResearch

BOOM! Cool to see the final form of this great work now published. Deep new insight into human peripheral neuropathy. Congrats @mheming.bsky.social and colleagues on a great study.

If you are preparing your bachelor statistics course and would like to add optional material for students to better understand statistics on a conceptual level (see topics in the screenshot) my free textbook provides a state of the art overview. lakens.github.io/statistical_...

Many congratulations again on this fabulous piece of work! 🎉🥳 Required reading for people in #PainResearch #painscience

We've found a new gene linked to chronic pain in humans! The gene SLC45A4 encodes (the long-awaited) neuronal polyamine transporter, which is important for pain signalling in nerves. We hope this discovery might lead to new chronic pain treatments in the future! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Transporters in pain! Exciting work from @middletonsj.bsky.social & Bennett lab @ox.ac.uk www.nature.com/articles/s41... #PainResearch

Congrats @amy-lock.bsky.social on another great paper based on your PhD! #PhDSky this should also be of interest to people on #Immunosky #AcademicSky

Happy to announce our preprint going live on BioRxiv! Interested in what’s happening to your fibroblasts’ transcriptomic phenotype once it’s in culture? Look no further! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @denklab.bsky.social #fibroblast #scRNAseq #culture #invitro #keloid #ECM #matrix #mesenchymal

This work is finally online as in-press preview! JCI - Cell and molecular profiles in peripheral nerves shift toward inflammatory phenotypes in diabetic peripheral neuropathy www.jci.org/articles/vie...

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Have you checked out the relaunch of PRF? Editors’ picks are selected by rotating editorial board members like @gregscherrer.bsky.social @painresforum.bsky.social

Naked mole-rats exhibit reduced inflammatory pain compared to mice. In a comparative study Lanhui Qiu & @psalmotoxin.bsky.social show that artemin has a conserved role in mice & naked-mole rats by mediating inflammatory pain in dorsal root ganglia (in vitro). link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I can never get bored of recording action potentials from my iPSC sympathetic neurons and the RMP was -70mV 😍 #patchclamp #ephys

A good #PainResearch week for Lanhui Qiu in the lab. After being co-first author on our sphingomyelin paper www.oarsijournal.com/article/S106..., her sole first author paper examining the effects of artemin on mouse vs. naked mole-rat sensory neurons is out 😀 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Our #PainResearch paper showing that sphingomyelin 34:1 (⬆️ in 🧍osteoarthritis synovial fluid) sensitises 🐁 sensory neurons in vitro & causes pain behaviours + knee-innervating neuronal hyperexcitability in 🐁 in vivo is now out in @oacjournal.bsky.social: shorturl.at/Yii8H Skytorial 👇 #neuroskyence

We have a new preprint ⤵️

The Pain Research Forum has relaunched—built for the global pain research community. Explore curated papers, expert content, and join discussions on The Pain Researcher. Registration is free: painresearchforum.or... #PRF #PainResearch #IASP #OpenScience

Excited to see the new website up and running, such a powerful resource for everyone in #PainResearch 😃

Excited to share our preprint on spatial transcriptomics of human sympathetic chain ganglia and the effect of diabetes. We also compared sympathetic and dorsal root ganglia to identify ganglia-specific signatures. Work led by @marisolmancilla.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Another successful Ephys Club! Pizza 🍕, refreshments 🥤 and an amazing talk from Laura Fedele, who set up a rig all by herself and managed to get successful recordings from iPSCs all in less than a year! Thanks to our sponsor Scientifica for making it possible!
