Discovery Of Codeine And Morphine Genes By University Of Calgary Researchers
Researchers at the University of Calgary have discovered the unique genes that allow the opium poppy to make codeine and morphine, thus opening doors to alternate methods of producing these effective painkillers either by manufacturing them in a lab or controlling the production of these compounds in the plant…
Discovery Leads To Effective Treatment Of Painful Skin Condition
Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute, in collaboration with a worldwide group of physicians and scientists, have discovered a remarkable treatment for a rare, yet debilitating, skin condition. The study, published online November 24 in Molecular Therapy describes a new treatment for pachyonychia congenita, an ultra-rare genetic skin condition caused by mutations in a gene called keratin.
Discovery Of Thoracic Spine Abnormality Resolves Undiagnosed Pain Primarily In Younger Women
The discovery of a multi-level arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the thoracic epidural space can now bring relief to potentially thousands of suffers of chronic thoracic pain and progressive myelopothy. Identified as thoracic epidural arteriovenous malformation (T.E.A.M.), this particular AMV primarily affects younger women ages 20 to 40.
Discovery Of Descending Neural Mechanisms Of Placebo-Induced Pain Control Means “It’s Not All In Your Head”
A new study reveals that when it comes to pain control, the “placebo effect” involves evolutionarily old pain control pathways in the human brainstem, the part of the brain that is continuous with the spinal cord. The research, published by Cell Press in the August 27th issue of the journal Neuron, provides fascinating mechanistic insight into how and why simply expecting that a treatment will reduce pain can act as an effective analgesic.
Discovery That Active Ingredients In Marijuana Spread And Prolong Pain Has Implications For Medical Use Of Drug And Concepts Of Chronic Pain
Imagine that you’re working on your back porch, hammering in a nail. Suddenly you slip and hit your thumb instead – hard. The pain is incredibly intense, but it only lasts a moment. After a few seconds (and a few unprintable words) you’re ready to start hammering again.

Discovery Of Faulty Genes Could Reveal Risk Of Bone Disease
The discovery of faulty genes by researchers in England could help people with Paget’s disease, a painful bone condition. Three genes have been found to be associated with the disease which, if detected early enough in people, could hasten diagnosis and treatment.
Discovery That Our Brains Make Proteins That Act Directly On Marijuana Receptors May Lead To Improved Pain Management
U.S. and Brazilian scientists have just proven that one of Bob Dylan’s most famous lines – “everybody must get stoned” – is correct. That’s because they’ve discovered that the brain manufactures proteins that act like marijuana at specific receptors in the brain itself. This discovery, published online in The FASEB Journal, may lead to new marijuana-like drugs for managing pain, stimulating appetite, and preventing marijuana abuse.
New Model For Drug Discovery With A Fluorescent Anesthetic Demonstrated By Penn Researchers
A collaboration of University of Pennsylvania and University of Wisconsin chemists and anesthesiologists have identified a fluorescent anesthetic compound that will assist researchers in obtaining more precise information about how anesthetics work in the body and will provide a means to more rapidly test new anesthetic compounds in the search for safer and more effective drugs. The study is published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Discovery Of Mechanism That Processes ‘THC’ Type Brain Compound May Lead To New Medicines For Pain, Addiction
Scientists have discovered a new molecular mechanism for the processing of endocannabinoids, brain compounds similar to THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and essential in physiological processes such as pain, appetite, and memory.
