Effect of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling on neuropathic pain after chronic compression of dorsal root ganglion

Abstract Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain state that often accompanies tissue damage, inflammation or injury of the nervous system. However the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. Here, we showed that CXCL12 and CXCR4 were upregulated in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) af...
