"This is the first neural circuit for temperature sensation in which the full pathway from the skin to the brain has been clearly identified." The cool signal activates when the skin is exposed to ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...

Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced plans to gradually reduce animal testing in the development of new monoclonal antibody drugs. As alternatives to animal ...
