Although medical science has advanced, the "itch" was still torture scientists to live through. Itchy feeling exactly what definition? Is the pain? Or is something else at all? United States, Duke University researchers also failed to solve the puzzle, but there was a new breakthrough how to treat itching.
Itching is not good governance, because we know too little about it. Funny thing is, scientists are studying pain caused by sunburn, discovered possible molecular mechanism of the itching. Victorias Secret iPhone
In the study, scientists found in skin cells known as TRPV4 ion channel, passed after intense ultraviolet radiation is responsible for pain. Researchers want to know whether the TRPV4 and sunburn itching feeling, proved the conjecture. Victorias Secret
Scientists used a genetically-modified mice after makes their skin cells TRPV4 low level. Results showed that, when subjected to stimulation of the skin, the frequency of scratching the affected area to reduce significantly in mice. Continue to probe found that TRPV4 activates a substance called pERK. If a compound is used to block the pERK, even normal mice are not easy to scratch themselves.
This new discovery could be very useful, patient or can no longer afford to agonizing itching.
