Chronic post-thoracotomy pain (CPTP) is a major clinical problem that affects up to 35-55% of patients undergoing thoracic incisions. Evidence suggests that multiple cellular signaling pathways and neuro-inflammatory mediators may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of CPTP. In this comprehensive review, we present the current evidence on the cellular signaling pathways and inflammatory changes associated with the initiation and maintenance of CPTP, focusing on the potential application of these findings in the clinical setting.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases (CKD), which is associated with macrophage activation and polarization. However, the relative contribution of macrophage-derived Wnts in the evolution of CKD is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate a critical role of Wnts secreted by macrophages in regulating renal inflammation and fibrosis after various injuries.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate a wide spectrum of physiological functions, including the development, remodeling, and repair of the skeleton. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of the bone is characterized by fibrotic, expansile bone lesions caused by activating mutations in There are no effective therapies for FD. We previously showed that ColI(2.
