Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transition from pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype presents a novel therapeutic strategy for chronic pain. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role of microglia polarization in cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP), as well as the role of the P2X7 receptor in modulating M1 to M2 polarization. METHODS: Walker-256 breast cancer cells were administered into tibias of female rats to...
