Abstract

Pain sensitivity is strongly modulated by intracellular signalling. The analysis of pain signalling is hampered by small numbers of neurons, high cellular heterogeneity, and near absence of transfectability. HCS microscopy allowed us to proof that nociceptive neurons express specific signalling components, to analyze signalling activity of endogenous signalling components with single cell resolution, and thereby to suggest blockers of Nav1.7 as novel therapeutic approach to boost the efficacy of opioids.
