Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell ...

New research reveals that neurons release a little-understood extracellular kinase called VLK to strengthen synaptic ...

Tulane researchers discovered a new pain signaling mechanism that could lead to safer, more effective treatments and reshape ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising way the brain switches pain on, revealing that neurons can release an enzyme outside ...

New research has identified the pain pathways between the gut and brain Researchers have identified the nerve pathways responsible for pain signals from the bowel to the brain, paving the way for new ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

Everyone has experienced a change in their pace and depth of breathing in an anxious or painful situation. Yet, the neural circuitry between this tight physiological coordination was not clear. A team ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that a particular molecular signaling pathway plays an important role in producing osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Using a mouse model of painful osteoarthritis, they show that ...

Scientists from Tulane University and The University of Texas at Dallas have discovered a new way that nerve cells communicate – by releasing an enzyme outside the cell that switches on pain signaling ...
