Dr. Yuan-Xiang Tao & Team Identified Novel Non-coding RNA

In April 2023, Dr. Yuan-Xiang Tao and his team in Department of Anesthesiology and Center for Immunity and Inflammation published an exciting work in Brain that identified a novel non-coding RNA named sensory neuron-specific lncRNA (SS-lncRNA), for its expression exclusively in the neurons of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and trigeminal ganglion. They reported that SS-lncRNA relieved neuropathic pain through hnRNPM-mediated KCNN1 rescue. These findings suggest that SS-lncRNA may offer a new therapeutic strategy specific for neuropathic pain.
