A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that ...

Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

New DNA Study Links Human's Low Pain Tolerance to Ancient Genetic Roots ...

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.

All over the body are tiny sensors called nociceptors whose job is to spot potentially harmful stimuli and send warning ...

The abnormal tissues range from black blisters to red nodules and white-hot cysts. They grow throughout the pelvic cavity, latching on to the ovaries and peritoneum or infiltrating the bowel and ...

Insect venom may seem like an unlikely ally in the discovery of new human pain treatments, but the latest findings into the "unique" way a small ant causes us such agony is a big leap forward – and ...

A breakthrough discovery reveals how the SLC45A4 gene fine-tunes polyamine transport in sensory neurons, reshaping our understanding of pain and opening new paths for targeted therapies. Study: ...

When the hair rises on the back of your neck through a process called piloerection or something hurts so much your primitive response prompts you to run away, your body can completely block out pain ...

Nearly everyone is familiar with the feeling of accidentally touching a hot vessel or holding onto something freezing for too long. Normally, pain serves to protect from potential harm, but when the ...
