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). Dr. Knezevic provides compelling evidence that these are promising targets for pain treatment using strategies including monoclonal antibodies, biased μ-opioid receptor ligands, stem cells, and targeted gene therapy.
