The molecular events that lead to the perception of pain are a key research field in medicine and drug discovery. The opioid receptors modulate pain signaling in response to endogenous peptide ligands and opiate drugs such as morphine. The kappa opioid receptor plays a key role in the profound analgesia of opiates and is activated by the endogenous peptide ligand dynorphin, encoded by the prodynorphin gene. Productio......閱讀全文

在免疫學實驗中,比如WB,IHC,IF等,大家都知道選著好正確的一抗,往往實驗就成功了一大半,因此,往往很多研究者便會忽視對二抗,以及其它試劑盒品質的追求。二抗是一種相對而言比較穩定的產品,包裝大,因此很多實驗室都會公用一個二抗。但如果二抗沒有選擇好的話,影響的可能就是一整個實驗室或者課題組了。艾美
研究背景: 電針鎮痛效應目前已經在世界范圍內得到了廣泛認可,但其在中樞神經系統的確切靶點和細胞特異性的鎮痛機制仍然沒有得到充分的認識。[1-3]。已有研究證實,電針可以誘導c-fos在中腦導水管周圍灰質(periaqueductal gray, PAG)中特異性表達[4],腹外側中腦導水管
