The hormone estrogen—which female animals typically have more of than males—triggers a molecular cascade in the gut that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Experts explain the science behind chronic pain and how to finally find relief with treatments that target your body 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 ...

Pain represents the cardinal symptom of osteoarthritis, yet its intensity, quality, and impact vary dramatically among ...

Researchers have investigated the role that estrogen plays in signaling more gut pain, and it isn't working alone.

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 ...
