Abstract excerpt
The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels has garnered significant attention by the pharmaceutical industry. In particular, TRP channels showing high levels of expression in sensory neurons such as TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8, have been considered as targets for indications where sensory neurons play a fundamental role, such as pain, itch, and asthma. Modeling these indications in rodents is...
