Scientists have manufactured a new bio-therapeutic molecule
that could be used to treat neurological disorders such as chronic pain and
epilepsy.
A team of 22 scientists from 11 research institutes led by
Professor Bazbek Davletov, now at the University of Sheffield, created and
characterised a new molecule that was able to alleviate hypersensitivity to
inflammatory pain.
