Been a good #PainResearch day for our lab in @phar.cam.ac.uk with 2 papers out in Journal of Neuroscience: 1. Led by @mayadannawi.bsky.social focuses on the impact of Prdm12 overexpression in adult sensory neurons www.jneurosci.org/content/earl..., walkthrough 👉 bsky.app/profile/psal...
AAV-mediated overexpression of Prdm12 in knee-innervating afferents reduces inflammatory joint pain and neuronal hyperexcitability in female miceInflammatory joint pain features in numerous musculoskeletal disorders that affect millions globally. The Prdm12 gene encodes a conserved zinc finger transcriptional regulator expressed selectively in...www.jneurosci.orgEwan St. John SmithNew pre-print from @phar.cam.ac.uk & Bellefroid lab at ULB! Led by @mayadannawi.bsky.social w support from @interlukein.bsky.social & more! We investigate impact of overexpressing the zinc finger transcriptional regulator Prdm12 on sensory neuron function / joint pain. #neuroskyence #PainResearch

Finally got my Canadian visa sorted (the joys of being a non-EU traveler 😅), so I’m flying out this weekend for the NeuroEthology congress! I’ll be presenting a poster on courtship behaviour and vocalisation in naked mole-rats. If anyone wants to catch up or meet for the first time, let’s chat!
