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 ...

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 ...

Perry Elementary School Principal Stephanie Tear points out features of the school’s new sensory pathway. The shipwreck-themed path mimics an obstacle course, with short exercises for students to ...

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) by ...

As detailed in a Stanford-led study published in Nature, researchers successfully created a replica of a neuronal pathway responsible for pain transmission in a lab dish called an “assembloid.” The ...

Researchers found that a Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) A1 stimulant, 2-methylthiazoline (2MT), act as a potent insect repellent in Drosophila. 2MT induces aversive behaviors via olfactory, ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of ...

Pain isn't just a physical sensation—it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...
