HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Ewan St. John Smith from the Department of Pharmacology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge , PD, UK have published the research work: Independent evolution of pain insensitivity in African mole-rats: origins and mechanisms, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)

SUMMARY

    Naked mole-rats have far fewer cutaneous nociceptors than other similarly sized mammals, which prompted the authors to study-related subterranean mole-rat species that are phylogenetic neighbors to the naked mole-rat. Acid insensitivity: By testing a large number of African mole-rat species for acid sensitivity the authors discovered two new instances of . . .
