Molecular basis for heat desensitization of TRPV1 ion channels. [PDF]
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel is a prototypical molecular sensor for noxious heat in mammals. Its role in sustained heat response remains poorly understood, because rapid heat-induced desensitization (Dh) follows ...

Induction of chronic migraine phenotypes in a rat model after environmental irritant exposure [PDF]
Air pollution is linked to increased emergency department visits for headache and migraine patients frequently cite chemicals or odors as headache triggers, but the association between air pollutants and headache is not well understood.

Novel Radiolabeled Vanilloid with Enhanced Specificity for Human Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) [PDF]
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. While radiolabeled resiniferatoxin (RTX) has provided a powerful tool for characterization of vanilloid binding to TRPV1, TRPV1 shows 20-fold weaker binding to the human TRPV1 than to the rodent TRPV1.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Differential regulation of bladder pain and voiding function by sensory afferent populations revealed by selective optogenetic activation [PDF]
Bladder-innervating primary sensory neurons mediate reflex-driven bladder function under normal conditions, and contribute to debilitating bladder pain and/or overactivity in pathological states. The goal of this study was to examine the respective roles

Structural insights on TRPV5 gating by endogenous modulators. [PDF]
TRPV5 is a transient receptor potential channel involved in calcium reabsorption. Here we investigate the interaction of two endogenous modulators with TRPV5.

A Central Somatic Transmission Mediates Proprioceptive Facilitation of Muscle Pain
Zhang et al. uncover a novel central mechanism for persistent muscle pain, in which TRPA1 sensitization in MeV proprioceptive neurons enhances somatic secretion. This, in turn, disinhibits descending pain control from neighboring noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons via local GABAergic circuits, thereby promoting inflammatory muscle pain.

TRPV4: Molecular Conductor of a Diverse Orchestra [PDF]
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) is a calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel, originally described in 2000 by research teams led by Schultz ( Nat Cell Biol 2: 695 –702, 2000) and Liedtke ( Cell 103: 525–535, 2000).

Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-1 Signaling as a Regulator of Human Sebocyte Biology [PDF]
Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), originally described as a central integrator of nociception, is expressed on human epidermal and hair follicle keratinocytes and is involved in regulation of cell growth and death. In human pilosebaceous units, we had shown that TRPV1 stimulation inhibits hair shaft elongation and matrix keratinocyte ...
