Full Description
TRP Channels as Therapeutic Targets: From Basic Science to Clinical Use, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference on the roles of TRP Channels in health and disease states. Chapters are completely updated, withe new topics on TRP channels biology, the crystalline structure of TRP channels, targeting TRP channels for pain relief, the relationship with migraine, emerging pain targets, a comprehensive view of the role of TRP channels in respiratory diseases and COVID complications, anxiety relief, renal disease, arthritis, and therapeutic opportunities for thermal regulation. This is a great reference for broad segments of the scientific and medical community. Researchers working on TRP channel drug discovery will benefit from the overview of applications to conditions in specific organ systems. Clinicians interested in new drugs in the pipeline will also find this book helpful for biologic principles of action.
