Description:

Pain normally serves as a warning sign of inflammation and damage, that disappears when inflammation and damage resolves. However, in a substantial number of patients with inflammatory diseases pain persists even after cessation of inflammation. Similarly, in patient with osteoarthritis the extent of pain is not directly linked to the damage and pain even may persist after total knee replacement. Pain has classically has been associated with aberrations in the nervous system. Yet, over the years it has become apparent that the mechanisms that drive pain are not solely based of aberrant nerve function but also includes interactions between immune cells and neurons. In this session an overview will be provide on how immune cells interact with the nervous system. In nervous tissue immune cells communicate with sensory neurons to to help resolve pain. However, these interactiosn also can go awry and promote pain, in e.g.  osteoarthritis. What is learned about this neuro-immune interactions can also be used for the development of highly needed new pain therapies that target endogenous resolution pathways.
