Pain signaling occurs much faster than previously believed. Researchers report thickly myelinated nerves contribute to pain processing speeds. Read More
Researchers report the PIEZO1 gene may be responsible for tactile allodynia, a reaction to injury that makes normal touch feel painful. Read More
Researchers believe the PIEZO2 gene may control specific aspects of human touch and proprioception. Read More
Researchers have identified a mechanoreceptor protein which mediates the sense of touch in mammals. Read More
Scientists have identified two proteins which may have a critical function in biological systems. The proteins, named Piezo1 and Piezo2, have been identified as being involved in cellular response to mechanical stimulation. Read More
