Hundreds of scientists around the globe have been working tirelessly to piece together the sequence of events that led to the devastating flood in Tibet and Nepal, which has killed nearly 600 people, left nearly 2000 missing, and destroyed many towns and hydropower plants. scim.ag/3SErvn3

How scientists unraveled the cause of the devastating flood in Tibet and Nepal
Global cooperation revealed a landslide, not a glacial collapse, likely initiated the cascade of events

What if chronic pain in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) starts before tumors form? New research from Cincinnati Children's, published in Science Magazine, shows Schwann cells overproduce GDNF, heightening pain signals—and that a MEK inhibitor reduced pain‑like responses in preclinical models.

Preventing Schwann Cells from Producing GDNF May Reduce NF1 Pain - Research Horizons
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s have identified a potential new way to relieve chronic pain linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition best known for causing tumors to grow along nerves.

Preventing Schwann Cells from Producing GDNF May Reduce NF1 Pain - Research Horizons
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s found in mice that blocking excess GDNF production in Schwann cells may reduce chronic pain linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, even before tumors appear.

Scientists trace the molecular origins of severe pain in neurofibromatosis, surprising results in mice reveal how obesity alters how the vagus nerve regulates insulin release, and more this week in #ScienceSignaling. scim.ag/4u2dpbY
The microscopy image shows staining for the GDNF receptor (red) in sensory nerve tissue from a mouse model of NF1.

The force-activated ion channels underlie the senses of touch and proprioception. Now scientists are using them as a tool to explore molecular mechanisms at work in internal organs…
