Abstract
Unrelieved pain is a widespread condition that fuels the opioid crisis. Molecules that initiate painful sensations are intensively sought as therapeutic targets for improved pain interventions. In this issue of Cell, Beaulieu-Laroche et al. (2020) describe TACAN, a putative ion channel that mediates mechanical pain in mice.
