Dear X Friends, #epigenetic modifications are responsive to #lifestyle, making them suitable biomarkers for many diseases, incl. chronic #pain. Is epigenetics the molecular substrate of multimodal lifestyle approaches for chronic pain? 🔓until Feb 19: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kMSK…

Dear X Friends, thanks to @FWOVlaanderen, we're able to study impaired #glucose metabolism in chronic low #back #pain & are hiring 2 Dutch language PhD candidates @VUBrussel & @KULeuven. This work builds on these p-o-c studies: link.springer.com/article/10…& mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/7/2155

Dear X Friends, step by step we learn more about the biology of central #sensitization & #nociplastic #pain, especially through studying #epigenetic mechanisms. Reversing DNA methylation patterns through epigenetic therapies? @DrSMschabrun @lode_godderis tinyurl.com/8c9ejbt4

Great to meet @LANdreaSS again here in Italy after several years. Here, he talks about the role of sleep deprivation in pain mechanisms.

If the research is so compelling, why are we doing so badly in promoting lifestyle changes for people in pain? Come and find out more where our next guest @LANdreaSS shares his research on pain and epigenetics eventbrite.co.uk/e/722121624… #pain #chronicpain #lifestyle #epigenetics

1/🧵Can a Diabetes drug prevent Long COVID?   Most solid data yet of a medication preventing #LongCOVID from quadruple blinded, non-pharma sponsored COVID-OUT trial N=1,125. A 42% relative ⬇️ in clinician diagnosed LC was seen (10.6% down to 6.3%).   bit.ly/3jvvKj4

Our latest article on the genetics and epigenetics of ME/CFS is now published! @LANdreaSS et al. found that people with ME/CFS showed higher DNA methylation in MB-COMT and lower levels of IFN-y. Free full-text here: rdcu.be/cYhyf

Andrea Polli: Entrenamiento de fuerza genera cambios en la epigenética (la musculatura "tiene memoria"). Si vuelves a entrenar después de dejarlo, los cambios son más rápidos. Esto justifica el trabajo de fuerza en preoperatorio. #afrontamientoactivodolor

Dear Twitter Friends, something to reflect upon: Genetic & epigenetic changes in patients with persistent #pain are typically found in genes unrelated to the musculoskeletal system. Genes relevant to the nervous, immune & stress response system appear to be more relevant.👇
