Stanford School of Medicine on Instagram: "Stanford Medicine researcher Sergiu Pasca, MD, and his team have pioneered a new technique to recreate human neural circuits in the lab. These circuits replicate a sensory pathway that transmits pain signals to the brain. This advance opens the door to studying the root causes of pain-related disorders without relying on animal models, and paves the way for more precise, non-opioid pain therapies. “We can now model this pathway non-invasively,” @sergiu.
