Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland said the molecules also appear to have a role in the phenomenon that causes uninjured areas of the body to be more sensitive to pain when an area nearby has been hurt. "With the identification of these molecules, we have some additional targets that we can try to block to decrease ...
