Scientists identified the region where a protein regulates sodium ion channels, inserting the channel's genetic material into a virus to alleviate pain in cell and animal studies. Researchers at NYU ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications how calcium ions can block sodium ion channels located in cell membranes. Structural analysis and computer simulations made it ...

Journavx revived an area of development long considered a graveyard. Can any other pain drugs keep investor excitement going?

New research findings in mice suggest that drugs that inhibit a key protein involved in the pain response, such as the anti-epileptic and bipolar disorder drug carbamazepine, may be effective at ...

Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry’s Pain Research Center have developed a gene therapy that treats chronic pain by indirectly regulating a specific sodium ion channel, according to a new study ...
