The illustration shows a microscopic image of a cell with structures highlighted in color: the cell body is shown in green, the cell membrane and other structures are marked in red, and a blue area inside presumably indicates the cell nucleus or an organelle. An arrow marks a specific location in the cell, which is also highlighted with another arrow in the enlarged overview at the bottom left. The scale is 5 µm, the labels “G” and “d49” are at the top of the image
Patient derived neurons express Nav1.7

We use induced pluripotent stem cells to produce nerve cells from chronic pain patients. Thereby, we focus on the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, as it has been associated with pain. In order to…

The illustration consists of four areas: At the top left and right are two diagrams labeled “Before” and “After”, each with axes for voltage (‘V’) and current (“I”). At the bottom left is an image of a circuit board with black lines and dots on a gray background. The bottom right shows an image with coloured dots on a dark background, presumably a data visualization or analysis.
Validation of stem cell-derived sensory neurons for modelling genetic pain disorders

Stem cells, such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), can be used to generate human sensory neurons. They offer an attractive humanized model system to study pathophysiological mechanisms of…
