Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a gene silencing approach providing mice with a higher pain tolerance threshold while lowering their sensitivity to pain for sustained periods of time.
The researchers feel that in the future, this new approach might be able to offer a safer, non-addictive alternative to treating chronic pain compared to opioids.
“What we have right now does not work, said first author of the study, Ana Moreno, in a statement. Opioids can increase…
