For decades, statins have been the quiet workhorses of cardiology, cutting heart attack and stroke risk for millions while ...

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 ...

Human pain, it turns out, is not just a product of modern stress or injury, but a legacy written deep into our DNA. New ...

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 ...

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 ...

A newly identified brain pathway in mice could explain why placebos, or interventions designed to have no therapeutic effect, still relieve pain. Developing drugs that target this pathway may lead to ...

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) expert decision pathway for chest pain can safely and effectively rule out acute coronary syndromes in most patients, but not for those with known coronary ...

In a study published in Science, researchers at Karolinska Institutet describe the neural processes behind how morphine relieves pain. This is valuable knowledge because the drug has such serious side ...

Women’s greater susceptibility to gastrointestinal pain may be rooted in hormonal activity, with new research pointing to ...

A new study highlights oestrogen's role in women's gut pain, revealing how it increases gut sensitivity through hormone pathways. Research shows dietary interventions may aid symptoms, linking ...
