    " This finding changes our understanding of the cellular mechanisms of body sensation and increases our understanding of chronic pain"
    researchers at the Karolinska School of Medicine in Sweden have discovered a new sensory organ that can sense to detect mechanical pain damage, such as punctures and impactsthe findings, published August 15 in the journal Science, were led by Patrik Ernfors, a professor of organized biology at the Karolinska School of Medicinepain can cause pain and cause huge social damageAlmost one in five people experience persistent pain and hope to find new painkillersHowever, our human survival also requires sensitivity to pain, as it has protective functionsPain can cause reflexes and prevent damage to tissues, such as pulling your hands away when you feel a sting in a sharp object or when you burn itResearchers at theKarolinska School of Medicine found a new sensory organ in the skin that is sensitive to harmful environmental stimuliIt is made up of a number of long protrusions of glial cells, and together they form the mesh organs in the skinThe organ is sensitive to mechanical damage to pain, such as stings and stressthe latest study, entitled "Specialized Cutanance Schwann Ensage cells pain sensor'," describes the appearance of new pain-sensitive organs, how they are organized with sensitive nerves of skin pain, and how organ activation causes electrical impulses, conductive reflex responses and pain experiences in the nervous systemthe cells that make up the organ are very sensitive to mechanical stimuli, which explains the mechanismby by which they are involved in detecting pain needles and stressIn the experiment, the researchers also blocked the organs and found that mechanical pain was reduced" our study shows that sensitivity to pain occurs not only in the nerve fibers of the skin, but also in the pain-sensitive organs of this newly discovered discoveryThis finding changes our understanding of the cellular mechanisms of body sensations and increases our understanding of chronic pain," Ernfors said
