Description

Zhang and co-authors test in 2024 whether products made from human birth tissue can ease pain after surgery without opioids. Pain after operations is a heavy burden, and opioids carry grave side effects. A membrane product from the womb lining had shown early promise in the clinic.

In mice, the product applied at the wound dulled lasting pain sensitivity, with no opioid like harms. It worked by quieting pain sensing nerve cells through a surface gate. The team then purified the active matrix part, which beat the raw product in purity and ease of use. The pure part reshaped cell scaffolds and cut nerve firing.
