Function and pharmacology of TRPM cation channels [PDF]
The physiological function and cellular role of some members of the TRPM family are poorly understood and still mysterious. Melastatin, the founding member of the TRPM group, is the most prominent example of the mysteries involved in understanding TRP channel function.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes. [PDF]
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Transient Receptor Potential Channels as Key Regulators of Neuroinflammation in Neurological Disorders: Mechanistic Insights, Therapeutic Potentials, and Future Directions. [PDF]
This study elucidates the central role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in driving neuroinflammation across neurological disorders. Acting as critical molecular sensors on neurons and glial cells, TRP channels' activation initiates downstream pathways that promote the release of proinflammatory cytokines, a pathological mechanism in ...

A Rare Cause of Seizures: Hypomagnesemia Type 1
Hypomagnesemia type I is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe hypomagnesemia, often accompanied by hypocalcemia. This disease is caused by mutations in the TRPM6 gene (which encodes the respective channel), leading to reduced ...
