Go check out our new paper on spatial transcriptomics of human sympathetic chain ganglia! Huge thanks @saadyousuf.bsky.social and @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social for trusting me with this awesome project.

Asta Arendt-Tranholm, @ish1789.bsky.social and others in our lab and the great team at UW led by @michelecuratolo.bsky.social latest preprint on mechanisms of neck pain in patients undergoing C1/C2 fusion surgery

This terrific paper led by @saadyousuf.bsky.social is now accepted for publication in Diabetes. Congrats to Saad and the team. Thanks to NIH funding that made this work possible.

Preprint alert: Using human microneurography protocols in PatchSeq experiments on pig DRGs we identify the molecular identity of human dermal CMi-fibers (sleeping nociceptors). We provide an integrated pig-human-more transcriptomic atlas and identify OSMR and SST as marker, backed by human expts.

Big congrats to Marisol Mancilla for placing third in the PhD Student Poster Competition and Art Showcase. Marisol's poster was a case study on chronic neck pain.
