Brain CancerFeaturedNeurologyNeuroscience·October 29, 2025·6 min readHow Chemotherapy Triggers Nerve Damage, and How to Stop ItA new study reveals that chemotherapy-induced nerve pain arises from a stress response in immune cells that triggers inflammation and neurotoxicity. Researchers found that activating a cellular stress sensor called IRE1α causes nerve damage and pain during chemotherapy, but blocking it prevents both in mice.Read More
