Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Peripheral nerve injury produces neuropathic pain as well as phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) family in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and dorsal horn. Following nerve injury, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), an important member of this family, is sequentially increased in neurons, microglia and astrocytes of the dorsal horn and gracile nucleus, and in injured large DRG neurons. Nerve injury-induced phosphorylation of ERK occurs early and is long-lasting. In several animal models of neuropathic pain, MEK inhibitors, known to suppress the synthesis of ERK, have proven effective to alleviate pain at various time points. Thus, the regulation of ERK/MAPK can be considered as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
