EphrinB–EphB receptor signaling plays diverse roles during development, but recently has
been implicated in synaptic plasticity in the matured nervous system and in pain processes.
The present study investigated the correlation between expression of ephrinB and EphB
receptor proteins and chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve and dorsal
rhizotomy (DR) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord (SC); and interaction of CCI
and DR on expression of these signals. Adult, male Sprague–Dawley rats were employed …
