Research Topics

1. Study on the developmental mechanisms by nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain models in mice.

Peripheral neuropathy is a common adverse effect of paclitaxel, vincristine and oxaliplatin treatment. The symptoms of anticancer drug-induced neuropathy are mostly sensory and peripheral in nature, consisting of mechanical allodynia or hyperalgesia. Research in our group is focused on analysis of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 channel expression in the rat dorsal root ganglion and release of substance P in the rat spinal cord dorsal horn after anticancer drugs treatment.
