Molecular Biology of Pain
Dr. Nebojsa Nick Knezevic discusses innovative strategies to target the molecular mechanisms of pain. After reviewing nociceptive and neuropathic pain, inflammatory cytokines, and nociceptor diversity, he introduces pain-related voltage gated ion channels, glial and inflammatory cells, and G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2).
