Data Analysis: Transcriptional signature primes human oral mucosa for rapid wound healing

https://www.niams.nih.gov/labs/morasso-lab/data/transcriptional-signature

This study examines gene expression in human oral and skin at baseline (unwounded; day 1) and at days 3 and 6 of healing. Given that there are 6 groups, there are a number of interesting comparisons that are possible. As an example, we provide detailed instructions to determine differences between unwounded oral vs. skin (oral day 1 vs. skin day 1).

https://www.niams.nih.gov/newsroom/spotlight-on-research/array-patient-recruitment-efforts-boost-back-pain-study

Back pain is one of the most common forms of chronic pain affecting adults. People with chronic back pain often take opioids for pain management, but opioids are highly addictive. To address this public health challenge, in 2019 NIH launched the Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program, part of the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term® (HEAL) Initiative that launched in 2018, a patient-centered effort to address the need for non-addictive, effective and personalized therapies for chronic back pain. Scientists are conducting clinical trials with the hopes of finding new non-opioid treatments. Yet for clinical trials to be effective, the
