Activating Transcription Factor 3 in Pain: A Molecular Regulator and Emerging Biomarker
Pain is a complex process involving dynamic transcriptional changes in cells of the PNS and CNS following injury or inflammation. Among stress-inducible transcription factors, ATF3 has emerged as one of the most robust molecular markers of neuronal injury, particularly in sensory neurons of the DRG. Although ATF3 is wi...
