“The receptors that sense temperature also mediate transduction of pain signals, such as noxious heat,” Qin ... These are cutaneous receptors, located at the endings of peripheral nerves in the skin.

Specialized pain receptors called nociceptors can be found at the end of the nerves on your skin, muscles, joints and internal organs. Each nociceptor is designed to activate its nerve if it ...

This damage is registered by nociceptors, microscopic pain receptors in the skin. Each pain receptor is present at one end of a nerve cell or neuron and is connected to the other end in the spinal ...

By targeting a specific area of a well-known pain receptor, they were able to reduce ... touching the capsaicin—suggesting that even skin contact caused pain. The K710N mice, meanwhile, lifted ...
