由英国剑桥大学的科学家共同领导的国际科学家团队发现了一个新的基因,这个基因在人体生成痛觉感受神经元的过程中扮演着重要的作用。痛觉是一种在进化上保守的预警机制,警告我们环境中存在的危险或是组织可能遭受到的损伤,但有少数人天生就无法感受到疼痛,而这种痛觉感受的缺失会使这些人的身体遭受并积累很多的损伤,常常会缩短他们的寿命。使用详细的基因组图谱,两个科学家团队合作对欧洲和亚洲11个家庭进行了遗传学分析,这 A team of international scientists led by scientists at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom has discovered a new gene that plays an important role in the production of pain-sensing neurons in the body. Hyperalgesia is an evolutionarily conservative early warning mechanism that warns about the dangers in our environment or the damage organizations may suffer, but few people are naturally at risk of pain and the lack of pain perception can make these people The body suffers and accumulates a lot of damage, often shortening their lifespan. Using a detailed genomic map, two scientists collaborated on a team of scientists to genetically analyze 11 families in Europe and Asia, which
