Selective inflammatory pain insensitivity in the African naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber).

Selective inflammatory pain insensitivity in the African naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber).

In all mammals, tissue inflammation leads to pain and behavioral sensitization to thermal and mechanical stimuli called hyperalgesia. We studied pain mechanisms in the African naked mole-rat, an unusual rodent species that lacks pain-related neuropeptides (e.g., substance P) in cutaneous sensory fib...
