Inflammation and Infection in Pain and the Role of GPR37.

Journal Article Int J Mol Sci · November 20, 2022 Inflammation is known to cause pain, and pain is of one of the cardinal signs of inflammation. Mounting evidence suggests that acute inflammation also resolves pain through specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and macrophage signaling. GPR37 is expre ... Full text Link to item Cite

beta-Endorphin-containing memory-cells and mu-opioid receptors undergo transport to peripheral inflamed tissue.

Journal Article J Neuroimmunol · April 2, 2001 Immunocyte-derived beta-endorphin can activate peripheral opioid receptors on sensory neurons to inhibit pain within inflamed tissue. This study examined mu-opioid receptors (MOR) on sensory nerves and beta-endorphin (END) in activated/memory CD4(+) cells ... Full text Link to item Cite
