[HTML][HTML] Microglia-independent peripheral neuropathic pain in male and female mice

YS Tu, MM Muley, S Beggs, MW Salter - Pain, 2022 - journals.lww.com
The dominant view in the field of pain is that peripheral neuropathic pain is driven by microglia
in the somatosensory processing region of the spinal dorsal horn. Here, to the contrary, …

[PDF][PDF] Control of long-term synaptic potentiation and learning by alternative splicing of the NMDA receptor subunit GluN1

…, C Leung, AK Ramani, NM Saw, Y Wang, YS Tu… - Cell Reports, 2019 - cell.com
NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are critical for physiological synaptic plasticity, learning, and
