The report urges research and immediate action to thwart co-epidemic as threat of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis/HIV mounts. Molecule Discovered To Be Key To Pain Sensitivity
Sensitivity to pain and the risk of developing chronic pain appear to be influenced by a molecule known to be required for the production of major neurotransmitters. In the November issue of Nature Medicine, an international research team describes this unexpected role for the molecule called BH4 and their findings that a particular set of variations in a human gene involved in synthesizing the molecule, appears to reduce pain sensitivity. MySpace Predator Caught by Code
