Description
TRP Channels as Therapeutic Targets, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference on the roles of TRP Channels in health and disease states. The Editor lined up a team of worldwide experts in academia and corporate R&D to provide diverse views into these promising drug development targets.
Following the research development happened in the past ten years, since the first edition published, the revision includes seven new chapters. All remaining chapters are completely updated. New topics included in the book are 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.
TRP Channels as Therapeutic Targets, Second Edition is a 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 find in this book their biologic principles of action.
- Presents the perspectives of several life science research specialties on the topic
- Provides a comprehensive picture of the TRP field, from TRP channel dysfunction through TRP drug discovery and development to clinical trials and everyday medical practice
- Represents an updated and complete reference
