New research suggests pain is not a simple signal of injury but a process that unfolds across nerves, spinal cord, and brain.

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.

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, and ...

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 ...

Chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans, yet for decades, treatment options for pain that persists in the absence ...

Researchers identify bone-forming cells as the driver of scoliosis caused by a genetic disorder, which can be prevented ...

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 ...

Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish. Pain pathway in a dish could aid search for new analgesic drugs Scientists have re-created a ...

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...
