| WASHINGTON (AP) - A biological
"smart bomb" that combines a natural protein with a toxin is
able to permanently block chronic pain without the side effects common
to narcotic pain drugs, researchers report. In laboratory studies using
rats, researchers at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis report
they have identified nerve cells that cause chronic pain and devised a
drug that knocks out those cells without affecting other nerve signals.
The Society for Neuroscience estimates that about 100 million Americans
endure chronic pain. See:
