A new #PainResearch paper from us at @phar.cam.ac.uk 😃 Led by Luke Paine from the Bulmer Lab, supported by @javimmunopain.bsky.social & others, & it’s all about acid; not the hallucinogenic kind, but rather H+ www.cmghjournal.org/article/S235...
GPR68, a proton-sensing GPCR, mediates acid-induced visceral nociception
Localised acidification from immune cell infiltration and heightened glycolysis contributes
to colitis pathology by activating acid-sensing receptors such as GPR68, a proton-sensing
GPCR expressed on ...
