Protein Kinases as Mediators for miRNA Modulation of Neuropathic Pain by Leah Chang, Zala Čok, Lei Yu

“…Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition resulting from injury or dysfunction in the somatosensory nervous system, which leads to persistent pain and a significant impairment of quality of life. Research has highlighted the complex molecular mechanisms that underlie neuropathic pain and has begun to delineate the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in modulating pain pathways. miRNAs, which are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally, have been shown to influence key cellular processes, including neuroinflammation, neuronal excitability, and synaptic plasticity. …”
