Aim of this project is to elucidate so far unknown mechanisms of redox signaling in inflammatory pain. The main goal is the molecular, cellular and functional characterization of redox generators as well as the identification of redox effectors which are involved in pain sensitization. It is expected that our investigations will help to identify novel targets for the treatment of pain.
