Diabetic painful neuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of neuropathic pain which is accompanied by shooting pain and sensory deficits. In our new preprint, we found a unique pathology in human dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) from organ donors with DPN. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Nageotte nodules in human DRG reveal neurodegeneration in painful diabetic neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is frequently accompanied by pain and loss of sensation attributed to axonal dieback. We recovered dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) from 90 organ donors, 19 of whom had medical indices...
