Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish.
Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of humans' most prominent nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body's skin to the ...
Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.
In a new discovery, chronic pain has been shown to be physiologically different from acute pain and now scientists have the roadmap for how to target it.
Using a mouse model of painful osteoarthritis, NCSU researchers show that blocking this signaling pathway eliminates pain and results in a return to normal limb use.
Stanford researchers replicated a pain transmission pathway that could help improve future pain treatments, while a “digital twin” helped researchers predict mice behaviors.
Scientists revealed a link between chronic pain and lung cancer—a link that also offers the potential as a druggable pathway.
