Another class of drugs that exploit a natural mechanism to decrease the ability of CaV2.2 to respond to pain signalling are the opioid drugs, like morphine and heroin. While very effective at ...
Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according ...
This knowledge can be used to develop drugs for chronic pain that are more effective and have fewer side effects. When the electrical signal reaches the end of one nerve cell, it is converted into ...
Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according ...
Nerve growth factor receptor TrkA (in green) and co-receptor NRP1 (in purple) are coexpressed in the same nerve cells in mice. Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor ...
