The responsible project members will present each project and first results
Project 8 investigates how nerve growth factor-induced axonal signaling, especially via interleukin-7, contributes to the development and resolution of chronic postoperative pain after abdominal hernia surgery. The aim is to identify mechanisms that could be targeted to improve postsurgical pain management.

Project 9 explores how specific subtypes of local macrophages and satellite glial cells (SGCs) are involved in the natural resolution of pain following nerve injury. Using animal models and patient samples, the project seeks to better understand cellular healing processes and immune-glia interactions.
