Originally Published 14 days ago — by SciTechDaily
Scientists at USF Health have discovered new ways opioid receptors can function, potentially leading to pain medications that provide effective relief without the dangerous side effects like respiratory depression, by favoring a reverse signaling pathway. This research could pave the way for safer, non-addictive pain treatments and improve understanding of receptor mechanisms.
