Scientists found that neurons release an enzyme called VLK outside the cell to trigger pain without affecting normal movement. Removing VLK in mice greatly reduced post-surgery pain, pointing to a ...

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

Abstract: Lane-changing is a typical scenario of driver interaction, which causes a multitude of traffic crashes as well. Therefore, clarifying the lane-changing interaction process is of great ...

These three stories of perseverance and hope with acute pain can help you take the first step toward better care.

At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences ...

New research contributes valuable data that may help low-dose ketamine infusions become more widely accepted as a safe and ...

Millions suffer from migraines, but a low-glutamate diet shows promise. By reducing intake of this neurotransmitter found in ...

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

At the microscopic scale, the process behind muscle repair becomes increasingly complex. Healing also varies depending on the type of damage involved, as the body responds very differently to an acute ...

Nonartricular pain — particularly widespread NAP — was linked to worse physical, emotional, and social well-being among adults with early RA.

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

A study led by experts at Cincinnati Children’s reports finding a shared—and unexpected—mechanism that may help improve healing across several types of muscle injury.
