Nerve Cell Membranes

Scientists have discovered a potential recipe for painlessness in humans, by using mice genetically modified to lack a nerve channel that enables people and animals to feel pain.

Scientists at University College London have found the recipe for painlessness in a study that used genetically modified mice to show a channel responsible for allowing pain signals to pass along nerve cell membranes is vital to feel agony.

Researchers, including those of Indian-origin, have found that increasing a crucial cholesterol-binding membrane protein in nerve cells within the brain can improve learning and memory in aged mice.
