CGRP/SP–Piezo2 Signaling in Trigeminal Neuralgia
2026-09-11
Liao et al. identify a Ca2+-dependent CGRP/SP–Piezo2 positive-feedback loop linking trigeminal root compression, neuroinflammation, and mechanical allodynia. The study combines a rat trigeminal neuralgia model with behavioral, tissue, knockdown, and cell-based experiments to define how ATP, PKC, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPK signaling may amplify abnormal facial mechanosensitivity.
