Oct. 1, 2020

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can relieve pain, according to a new study by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers. The finding may explain why nearly half of people who get COVID-19 experience few or no symptoms, even though they are able to spread the disease, according to the study's senior author Rajesh Khanna, PhD, a professor in the College of Medicine -- Tucson's Department of Pharmacology.
