	Special Feature: New solutions to soothe chronic pain Summary: This February issue of Research*EU magazine shines a light on chronic pain, an arguably under-appreciated but very real healthcare challenge. In other news, the magazine celebrates the achievements of the Carbon4PUR project, and in Life After, we catch up with the DevelopAKUre project that, after 10 years hard slog, is finally very close to launching a new treatment for AKU, a very rare disease, thus transforming the lives of those affected. The EU Agenda gives the low-down on upcoming events and the regular nine thematic sections feature the latest results from EU-funded projects from all major research areas.
