Only about 1 in 3 people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy experience pain. The other 2 in 3 don't. Why? Researchers still don't know. Learn more from Dr. Brian Callaghan: f.mtr.cool/fuk5w8f8u4

Meet 2026 Next Gen. Researcher Ariel Zhang, PhD. She is running experiments to see if reducing a specific protein called ATF2 could prevent #PeripheralNeuropathy in chemotherapy patients. Funded with @FoundationforPN. 🧠 Learn more 💡➡️ ow.ly/axE350ZzyPp
Researcher Feature: Ariel Zhang, PhD. Dr. Zhang is a 2026 Next Generation Researcher studying peripheral neuropathy. Her research will explore the role of a protein called ATF2 in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and investigate if reducing the protein can protect against this condition. If so, this could pave the way for the development of safer cancer treatments. This research is funded by The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy.
