Lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury: the role of sensory C-fibres and TRPV1 [PDF]
PhDIt is well established that the 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) pathway of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism is stimulated within the myocardium by episodes of ischaemia, and there is considerable evidence showing that eicosanoids derived via this pathway ...

The intimate interaction between mast cells and sensory nerves can be illustrated by the wheal and surrounding flare in an urticarial reaction in human skin. This reaction is typically associated with an intense itch at the reaction site. Upon activation,

The boundary cap: a source of neural crest stem cells that generate multiple sensory neuron subtypes [PDF]
The boundary cap (BC) is a transient neural crest-derived group of cells located at the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) that have been shown to differentiate into sensory neurons and glia in vivo.

Specific regulation of mechanical nociception by Gβ5 involves GABA-B receptors
Mechanical, thermal, and chemical pain sensation is conveyed by primary nociceptors, a subset of sensory afferent neurons. The intracellular regulation of the primary nociceptive signal is an area of active study.

Structural organization of the olfactory epithelium of a spotted snakehead fish, Channa punctatus [PDF]
Background. Enormous diversities exist regarding shape, number, and arrangement of the olfactory lamellae, distribution of the sensory and non-sensory epithelium as well as the abundance of various receptor cells among different teleosts.

Emergence of functional sensory subtypes as defined by transient receptor potential channel expression [PDF]
The existence of heterogeneous populations of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons conveying different somatosensory information is the basis for the perception of touch, temperature, and pain. A differential expression of transient receptor potential (TRP)

Transient receptor potential channel polymorphisms are associated with the somatosensory function in neuropathic pain patients. [PDF]
Transient receptor potential channels are important mediators of thermal and mechanical stimuli and play an important role in neuropathic pain. The contribution of hereditary variants in the genes of transient receptor potential channels to neuropathic ...
