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 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.

In a world increasingly driven by technological advancements, the lines between human sensation and robotic capability are blurring. Enter neuromorphic ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas and their international colleagues have determined the molecular signature of human sleeping -­ or silent -­ nociceptors: sensory neurons that are ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists succeed in multiplying millions of NK cells against cancer from a single donor, for more accessible therapies.

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 ...

All over the body are tiny sensors called nociceptors whose job is to spot potentially harmful stimuli and send warning signals to the brain and spinal cord, helping protect us from injury or tissue ...

When suicide happens, most people assume depression was the cause. Here's why they shouldn't overlook chronic pain.
