Do you remember the temperature and touch receptor TRPV1 that made American scientists David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian accessible to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2021? Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has gained significant attention in the field of pain treatment due to its potential as a therapeutic target. However, as […]

The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a non-selective cation channel that allows the passage of Ca2+, thereby increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels. TRPA1 has garnered significant attention due to its ability to respond to various environmental stimuli and its involvement in pain perception and inflammatory processes. As of now, there are approximately 22 drugs […]
