Scientists find an itchiness cell
(BBC 07/08/2009)
US scientists have pinpointed a type of nerve cell in mice which appears to generate the itch sensation. The finding suggests itching is not simply a low-level variation of pain - but a distinct sensation. A team from Washington University found itch and pain signals seem to be transmitted along different pathways in the spinal cord. The study, published online by the journal Science, raises hopes of new treatments for itching.
