Dear Twitter Friends, something to reflect upon: Genetic & epigenetic changes in patients with persistent #pain are typically found in genes unrelated to the musculoskeletal system. Genes relevant to the nervous, immune & stress response system appear to be more relevant.👇

📢Now open for submission!📢 “The Biology of Chronic Pain: Applications in Clinical Practice” Special Issue in the Journal of Clinical Medicine - IF:4.964 (JCI: 50/329, Q1 in Medicine, General & Internal), with guest editors Andrea Polli and Jo Nijs mdpi.com/journal/jcm/sp…

Andrea Polli: Entrenamiento de fuerza genera cambios en la epigenética (la musculatura "tiene memoria"). Si vuelves a entrenar después de dejarlo, los cambios son más rápidos. Esto justifica el trabajo de fuerza en preoperatorio. #afrontamientoactivodolor

Andrea Polli talks about congenital insensitivity to pain at I Congreso #AfrontamientoActivoDolor

La compleja relación entre los factores ambientales y el estilo de vida en relación a los cambios epigeneticos que nos acercan a un estado de salud o enfermedad. Bravisiimo Andrea Polli 🔝

Our latest article on the genetics and epigenetics of ME/CFS is now published! Andrea Polli et al. found that people with ME/CFS showed higher DNA methylation in MB-COMT and lower levels of IFN-y. Free full-text here: rdcu.be/cYhyf

Glad to host Andrea Polli Pain in Motion in our clinic Move Physiotherapy for a course on neuroscience and persistent pain! #ebm #pain #neuroscience #physiotherapy

Dear Twitter Friends, State-of-the-Art Review on the Biology of Stress Intolerance in Patients with Chronic Pain & its Clinical Implications. 🔓: tinyurl.com/4rtcc38z & part of special issue "The Biology of Chronic Pain: Applications in Practice" tinyurl.com/4edd2hdc

WE ARE HIRING! The Biology & Pain research line keeps growing - we are looking for a PhD candidate who will be exploring the links between mitochondrial functions and ANS activity in people with ME/CFS. More info below. Retweets appreciated. - with Jolien Hendrix and Jo Nijs

⁦Andrea Polli⁩ presents his work on epigenetics and complex pain but begins with a “warning” 👍👇💪🤓😊

If the research is so compelling, why are we doing so badly in promoting lifestyle changes for people in pain? Come and find out more where our next guest Andrea Polli shares his research on pain and epigenetics eventbrite.co.uk/e/722121624217… #pain #chronicpain #lifestyle #epigenetics

Dear X Friends, step by step we learn more about the biology of central #sensitization & #nociplastic #pain, especially through studying #epigenetic mechanisms. Reversing DNA methylation patterns through epigenetic therapies? @DrSMschabrun Lode Godderis tinyurl.com/8c9ejbt4

Great to meet Andrea Polli again here in Italy after several years. Here, he talks about the role of sleep deprivation in pain mechanisms.

Dear X Friends, #epigenetic modifications are responsive to #lifestyle, making them suitable biomarkers for many diseases, incl. chronic #pain. Is epigenetics the molecular substrate of multimodal lifestyle approaches for chronic pain? 🔓until Feb 19: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kMSK51N1vyn…

Dear X Friends, thanks to FWO, we're able to study impaired #glucose metabolism in chronic low #back #pain & are hiring 2 Dutch language PhD candidates VUB & Sam Van Campenhout. This work builds on these p-o-c studies: link.springer.com/article/10.100…& mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/7…
