Credit: Lewin Lab of the Max Delbr\u00fcck Center A team of researchers led by Oscar S\u00e1nchez-Carranza in Professor Gary Lewin&#8217;s lab at the Max Delbr\u00fcck Center have identified a new function for the PIEZO2 protein\u2014in mediating chronic pain hypersensitivity. The research suggests a new target for analgesics and potentially explains why pain medications that target voltage gated sodium channels have been disappointing as clinical targets.
