Novel method reveals how menthol discovery could point towards new or improved pain therapies

...nsidered targets to treat chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain indications. Understanding how small molecules such as menthol affect the function of these proteins could be crucial in designing future drugs that can either activate or block them." The study was released in an advanced online version by th...

Master genetic switch found for chronic pain

...cally expressed in pain-receptor cells involved in neuropathic pain. When they knocked out the gene, they found that the normal development of such specialized nerve cells was impaired. The animals had lost ion channels known to be involved in reacting to painful heat or cold, as well as those involved in pain d...
