BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Satellite glial cells in sensory ganglia are a recent
subject of research in the field of pain and a possible therapeutic target in the future …

Neurons in the somatic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic ganglia are surrounded by
envelopes consisting of satellite glial cells (SGCs). Recently, it has become clear that SGCs …

Chronic pain is known to be caused by sensitization within the pain circuits. An imbalance
occurs between excitatory and inhibitory transmission that enables this sensitization to form …

Current information indicates that glial cells participate in all the normal and pathological
processes of the central nervous system. Although much less is known about satellite glial …

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) undergo phenotypic changes and divide the following injury into
a peripheral nerve. Nerve injury, also elicits an immune response and several antigen …

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) closely envelop cell bodies of neurons in sensory, sympathetic
and parasympathetic ganglia. This unique organization is not found elsewhere in the …

Neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are surrounded by an envelope of satellite glial cells
(SGCs). Little is known about SGC physiology and their interactions with neurons. In this …

Some chronic pain conditions in the orofacial region are common, the mechanisms
underlying which are unresolved. Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are the glial cells of the …

Peripheral sensory neurons located in dorsal root ganglia relay sensory information from the
peripheral tissue to the brain. Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are unique glial cells that form an …

Gastrointestinal (GI) pain is a common clinical problem, for which effective therapy is quite
limited. Sensations from the GI tract, including pain, are mediated largely by neurons in the …
