Gut Feelings: Probing Mechanisms of Visceral Pain
Pain from within is initiated by somatosensory nerve fibers that innervate and interact with specialized sensory cells within visceral organs, such as the gut or the airways. Determining the nature of these interactions is essential to understanding the mechanistic basis of protective pain that is initiated by acute noxious stimuli or maladaptive pain associated with pathophysiological conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or chronic cough.
