Disentangling the enigmatic role of ephrin signaling in chronic pain: Moving towards future anti-pain therapeutics.

Chronic pain is a common and debilitating condition with a huge social and economic burden worldwide. Currently, available drugs in clinics are not adequately effective and possess a variety of severe side effects leading to treatment withdrawal and poor quality of life. The ongoing search for new therapeutics with minimal side effects for chronic pain management remains a high research priority.

Modulation of KIF17/NR2B crosstalk by tozasertib attenuates inflammatory pain in rats.

Chronic pain is among the most burdensome and devastating disorders affecting millions of people worldwide. Recent studies suggest the role of kinesin nanomotors in development and maintenance of chronic pain. KIF17 is a member of kinesin superfamily that binds to NR2B cargo system via mLin10 scaffolding protein and makes the NMDARs functional at cell surface.

Multifarious Targets and Recent Developments in the Therapeutics for the Management of Bone Cancer Pain.

Bone cancer pain (BCP) is a distinct pain state showing characteristics of both neuropathic and inflammatory pain. On average, almost 46% of cancer patients exhibit BCP with numbers flaring up to as high as 76% for terminally ill patients. Patients suffering from BCP experience a compromised quality of life, and the unavailability of effective therapeutics makes this a more devastating condition.

Kinesin Nanomotors Mediated Trafficking of NMDA-Loaded Cargo as A Novel Target in Chronic Pain.

Chronic pain is among the most prevalent burdensome disorders worldwide. The -methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor system plays a critical role in central sensitization, a primary feature of chronic pain. Despite the proven efficacy of exogenous ligands to this receptor system in preclinical studies, evidence for the clinical efficacy of NMDA antagonists for the treatment of chronic pain is weak.

Efficacy and safety of a nano-emulsion gel formulation of adapalene 0.1% and clindamycin 1% combination in acne vulgaris: a randomized, open label, active-controlled, multicentric, phase IV clinical trial.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a very common skin disease with a significant detrimental effect on the quality of life of the patients.

Aims: To assess the comparative efficacy and safety of a nano-emulsion gel formulation of adapalene and clindamycin combination with its conventional formulation in the treatment of acne vulgaris of the face. It was a prospective, randomized, open label, active-controlled, multicentric, clinical trial.
