Neutrophils recruited by <scp>CXCR1/2</scp> signalling mediate post‐incisional pain

Abstract

In conclusion, it appears that after surgical processes, neutrophils are recruited by CXCL1-CXCR1/2 signalling and participate in the cascade of events, leading to mechanical hyperalgesia. These results suggest that blocking neutrophil migration through the inhibition of CXCL1-CXCR1/2 signalling might be a target to control post-surgical pain.
