Check out this paper from the Movahedi lab! It’s a great companion to ours - showing the populations of brain macrophages that monocytes can replace. Congrats to first author Jonathan Bastos!

Turns out, two of pain’s most famous messengers — Substance P and CGRPα — might not be so essential after all. Mice missing both still felt pain just fine, challenging decades of assumptions about how pain signals travel.

! We identified pathways for airway protective reflexes—swallowing and coughing—in mice, driven by rare throat chemosensory cells that signal vagal nerves via channel synapses.

🚨 Exciting news! Our study reveals that mast cell-derived chymases contribute to the resolution of inflammatory pain. Thanks to @NIH funding, we’re taking a step closer to non-addictive pain therapies! 🔬💡
