  7. 40. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of inflammatory arthritis and fibromyalgia

    Författare :Carlos Eduardo Morado Urbina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In Study I, we examined the impact of the hR100E-NGF mutation on inflammatory pain and bone erosion in both female and male mice. Our findings indicate that the hR100E-NGF mutation did not affect the development of the peripheral sensory nervous system at the lumbar DRG, sciatic nerve, ankle joint, or glabrous skin. LÄS MER
