Sharon.... I mentioned an article earlier (first one in the 'Drug' section in
our files) that might be related... it also talks about cytokines.

Any clue how to further interpret or these articles?

Thanks,
~Erin~

Description
Research in rodents by scientists from the University of California, San
Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has provided evidence that a protein called
LRP1 may help to ease neuropathic pain by blocking the response of glial
cells that support and protect sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous
system.
