Nigel Bunnet, Professor and Chair of NYU Dentistry's Department of Molecular Pathobiology, explains new research he discovered on NSAIDs.
NSAIDs, or Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, are an extremely common variety of pain relief medicine. There are over the counter varinets such as Advil or aspirin or prescribed forms such as Celebrex and Voltaren.
Though common, NSAIDs have side effects that can be dangerous, and long-term usage can result in significant cardiac risk.
In a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications, a team of researchers successfully identified the mechanisms that make NSAIDs work. These findings are an important step in creating new medicines that can relieve pain without many of its dangerous side effects.
