That’s neuropathic pain, and it messes with millions of lives. But scientists just found a brain receptor, GluD1, that acts like a pain circuit architect. When it’s out of whack, pain goes haywire. The wild part? Reactivating GluD1 in mice actually dialed down their pain—no opioids needed. Early days, but this could be a total game-changer for chronic pain! #ChronicPain #ScienceNews #HealthBreakthrough #Health93Share
