This week, The Long Run explores how our sense of touch—one of biology's most fundamental yet poorly understood systems—is yielding new scientific discoveries with far-reaching implications. Host Luke Timmerman sits down with neuroscientist Ardem Patapoutian to discuss his work on mechanoreceptors, the recent Nobel Prize recognition in this field, and what these breakthroughs mean for treating pain and neurological conditions.
