5. Modulation of pain by immune factors : a study on interferon-g and its receptor in nociceptive transmission
Abstract : Immune cytokines have been implicated as important neuromodulators, contributing to neuronal plasticity both in the adult and developing nervous system. In addition, they have been assigned a potential role in the generation of pathological pain, which may occur as a severe symptom following disease states in the nervous system. READ MORE
