β-arrestin-2 regulates NMDA receptor function in spinal lamina II neurons and duration of persistent pain

The cellular mechanisms underlying acute pain transitions to chronic pain are poorly understood. Here the authors show that the scaffolding protein β-arrestin 2 contributes to these processes via desensitization of NMDA receptors in spinal neurons.
