Nerve regrowth can be painful

Neuronal fibres have been tracked as they regrow into the skin following nerve injury in mice. The analysis reveals that mis-wiring of pain-sensing fibres generates hypersensitivity to touch in skin associated with the injury. Neuronal fibres have been tracked as they regrow into the skin following...
