Nottingham Trent University researchers study chronic pain in childhood cancer survivors to find methods to alleviate pain via mitochondria transfer.
Researchers at Nottingham Trent University, led by Dr. Richard Hulse, are studying chronic pain in childhood cancer survivors, noting that about 80% survive for over a decade but often face ongoing pain. Their two-year study aims to uncover how chemotherapy damages pain-detecting nerve cells and explores transferring healthy mitochondria to alleviate this pain. The findings could lead to new treatments for improving the quality of life for these survivors.
