Once again, this is made possible due to the #PRECISIONHumanPainNetwork, funded by #NIH through the #HEALInitiative. Continued funding for the #HEALInitiative will make sure that important research like this will continue.

Large part of the progress in #pain #research will depend on whether the #NIH #HealInitiative will continue or not. Works like this one will very unlikely lead to benefits for patients if further translational research is not funded. And there is no comparable alternative to the NIH HEAL program.

HEAL Initiative The NIH HEAL Initiative is an NIH-wide effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid and pain public health crises.

Again, all of these advances in our understanding of the human nervous system are only possible because of the organ donors and their families, and because of the funding that comes from the #NIH #HealInitiative: www.nih.gov/heal

Our latest preprint. More evidence that diabetic neuropathy is a neuro degenerative disease. Very proud of @ish1789.bsky.social and our whole PRECISION group who made this work possible. #HEALinitiative funded

So many people contributed to this work --@tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social @dianatavf.bsky.social and many social media-less colleagues -- none of which would have been possible without SUBSTANTIAL and consistent funding from #NHLBI, #NINDS, #HEALinitiative
