Chilling discovery: Discovery of ancient proteins could redefine the way we treat pain
New research at Arizona State University examines the evolution and function of the TRPM8 protein, with the goal of developing non-addictive painkillers that avoid side effects of temperature regulation, potentially revolutionizing the treatment of chronic pain. The detection of menthol predates the sensation of cold, suggesting separate activation mechanisms that can be distinguished. This differentiation … Read more
