Neuroimmune Interaction in the Regulation of Peripheral Opioid-mediated Analgesia in Inflammation
Peripheral immune-cell-mediated analgesia in inflammation is an important endogenous mechanism of pain control. Opioid receptors localized on peripheral sensory nerve terminals are activated by endogenous opioid peptides released from immune cells to produce significant analgesia. Following transend...
