Reestablishment of Redox Homeostasis in the Nociceptive Primary Afferent as a Mechanism of Antinociception Promoted by Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells in Oxaliplatin-Induced Chronic Peripheral Neuropathy by Anna Lethicia L. Oliveira, Gisele G. L. Santos, Renan F. Espirito-Santo, Gessica Sabrina A. Silva, Afrânio F. Evangelista, Daniela N. Silva, Milena B. P. Soares, Cristiane Flora Villarreal

“…Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are key factors contributing to the development of OXL-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN). Based on the antioxidant and antinociceptive properties of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC), the present study tested the hypothesis that MSC induce antinociceptive effects during OIPN by promoting regulation of redox environment and mitochondrial homeostasis in the nociceptive primary afferents. …”
