Obviously, pain is a useful measure of damage to the body. However, pain that lasts for more than a few months is defined as “chronic pain” and Joe Cameron’s genes may hold the secrets to eliminating this suffering that affects the lives of many around the world.
Pain genetics at the university, James Cox, says that understanding what is happening at the level of her body may help in understanding its biology, which opens the door to discovering drugs that have positive effects on patients.
Cameron didn’t realize how different her life experience was from most other humans until she was 65, and scientists now hope to unlock the secrets of her unique cells.
