CaV3.2 Channels: Inducing Spinal Cord Injury Neuropathic Pain via Hyperexcitability and Spontaneous Activity in Nociceptors

By Maegan Diep, Class of 2029 Figure 1.  An illustration of pain localized along the lower spine. Following spinal cord injury, up to 60-70% of patients are affected by spinal cord injury neuropathic pain (SCI-NP). Despite the large population affected, there is a lack of effective treatment plans to combat SCI-NP. Currently, anticonvulsant and antidepressant drugs are typically prescribed to affected patients, but many still … Continue reading CaV3.2 Channels: Inducing Spinal Cord Injury Neuropathic Pain via Hyperexcitability and Spontaneous Activity in Nociceptors

Specific protein, TlyC in bacteria Rickettsia plays a determining factor in the pathogenesis of Spotted Fever disease

Author: Kang Lai, Class of 2026 Ticks are commonly known vectors that transmit pathogens from one host to another. The genus of bacteria known as Rickettsia contains a hemolysin factor that causes disease progression through lysis of red blood cells. Several strains of Rickettsia are analyzed to deduce the key virulence factor behind its epidemiology of the Spotted Fever pathogenesis.  Bacterial hemolysins are toxins that … Continue reading Specific protein, TlyC in bacteria Rickettsia plays a determining factor in the pathogenesis of Spotted Fever disease
