Abstract
A new study shows that a specific mutation in SCN11A, which encodes the Nav1.9 voltage-gated sodium channel, underlies a human disorder characterized by insensitivity to pain. This finding provides fresh insights into human pain perception and suggests a new avenue for the development of analgesic drugs.Entities:
