RE: Presenting a whole new organ in skin to sense pain - journal club.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
What a revelation: "Schwann cells have an active role in the sensation of pain". Who would've thought? :D
I think you were very clear when explaining the various steps the authors went through to find out which kind of exact pain these cells are associated with. It's funny, but I still feel for those little fellows whenever I read studies like this. But then, I look at your illustrations and just giggle! I will always let you know how lovely I think they are.
One of the things that came to mind throughout my reading was whether this brings hope for individuals who suffer from chronic pain, or other pain related conditions. But you made an observation about it at the end. So, I am left with no queries.
Thank you for this incredibly informative post @scienceblocks. I always, always learn from your work here on the platform!
Have a wonderful afternoon :)
Thanks @abigail-dantes. Your feedback is always so motivating and inspiring. Now, even when I am writing the post I always wonder what you and @agmoore would comment. They always fill life into the post.
You know, I feel for those little guys, so much. Over the years however, I had to switch off my feelings for them. I still get moved by them when I go to perform experiments. But, I also find myself helpless to do anything for them. The least I can do is let friends know how much these mice are doing for us, by emphasizing their role in studies.
