For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel ...

Pain signals originating in the body’s periphery are conveyed to the brain along a relay of neurons in four different parts of the ascending sensory pathway: the dorsal root ganglion, dorsal ...

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 ...

Intercostal neuralgia occurs when a person experiences neuropathic pain in their ribs, chest, or abdomen. It may feel like a sharp, stabbing, aching, or burning pain. Various conditions may cause ...

Researchers integrated four organoids that represent the four components of the human sensory pathway, along which pain signals are conveyed to the brain. Stimulation of the sensory organoid (top ...
