Nociceptor-to-macrophage communication through CGRP/RAMP1 signaling drives endometriosis-associated pain and lesion growth in mice Blocking nociceptor CGRP to RAMP1 signaling in macrophages reduces endometriosis pain and lesion growth in a mouse model of the disease.

CGRP/RAMP1-mediated communication between TRPV1+ nociceptors and macrophages contributes to the growth of endometriosis lesions and associated pain, highlighting a potential treatment by inhibiting this pathway #Painresearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
