In this paper, published in NATURE, we report a new gene associated with pain, and the mechanism by which its coded protein contributes to pain perception. This is a new target for therapeutic intervention in pain treatment. @cprg-dundee.bsky.social

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.
