Drosophila Nociceptive Sensitization Requires BMP Signaling via the Canonical SMAD Pathway
3 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Nociceptive sensitization is a common feature in chronic pain, but its basic cellular mechanisms are only partially understood. The present study used the Drosophila melanogaster model system and a candidate gene approach to identify novel components required for modulation of an injury-induced nociceptive sensitization pathway presumably downstream of Hedgehog. This study demonstrates that RNAi silencing of a...
