FRICTION-INDUCED PAIN: FROM SKIN SURFACE TO BRAIN ACTIVATION

Friction-Induced Pain: From Skin Surface to Brain Activation

The interface friction between prosthetic socket and residual limb tends to cause skin injury and pain.The frictional pain was systematically studied based on skin tribological behaviors and brain activation.The results showed that the skin frictional pain was affected by the combination of friction and mechanical properties of anatomic regions and

VEGF-A/NRP1 stimulates GIPC1 and Syx complex formation to promote RhoA activation and proliferation in skin cancer cells

Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) has been identified as a VEGF-A receptor.DJM-1, a human skin cancer cell line, expresses endogenous VEGF-A and NRP1.In the present study, the RNA interference of VEGF-A or NRP1 suppressed DJM-1 cell proliferation.Furthermore, the overexpression of the NRP1 wild type restored shNRP1-treated DJM-1 cell proliferation, whereas NRP1
