Ke Z. Shan, Augustus J. Lowry, Maria A. González Torres et al.
The asymmetric distribution of phospholipids between membrane leaflets is a hallmark of all known cells, yet many fundamental questions about membrane lipid asymmetry remain unanswered. Why do cells invest energy to establish and maintai...

Glial cells in neuropathic pain

Open DOI
Temugin Berta, Arkady Khoutorsky, Jing Xu et al.
Neuropathic pain is a chronic, debilitating condition that affects ∼7–8% of the global population and remains difficult to treat because of limited therapeutic options. Over the past two decades, mounting preclinical evidence has highlig...
