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.

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 ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

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 ...

Pain isn't just a physical sensation—it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

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: ...

The thermal grill illusion (TGI) is a striking phenomenon in which the simultaneous application of interlaced warm and cool stimuli to the skin produces paradoxical sensations of burning heat and pain ...

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...
