When they blocked it entirely, the transmission of pain signals fell apart — even though the initial neurons still fired. That suggests pain doesn’t come from one spot firing randomly ...

In the current study, researchers at Linköping University have focused on a specific type of calcium channel called CaV2.2, that is involved in the transmission of pain signals. In fact ...

Similarly, researchers believe they can design mAbs that can bind to receptors involved in pain transmission, thus blocking the signals. Yarov-Yarovoy’s goal is to create monoclonal antibodies ...

Pulses aimed at the nervous system block the transmission of pain signals from reaching the spinal cord and brain. The pulses also stimulate the body to produce more natural pain-relieving ...

The researchers used chemical signals to coax these cells into ... chemical continued—but the synchronized wavelike transmission of pain information through the circuit mysteriously vanished.

CHICAGO — Big news for fighting sisters: Scientists have found the sensors that signal the painful zing of a hair pull. And this pain message can rip along a nerve fiber at about 100 miles an ...

Fewer Nav1.8 channels mean less pain signal transmission, potentially offering a more long-term solution for chronic pain. This approach is closer to gene therapy, where a biological agent, such as a ...

Pain is a complex matter. It has a chain of transmission that is mainly based on electrical signal going from periphery to the center. Among the signals involved there are some related to sodium ...
