Pharmacological blockade of TRPA1 inhibits mechanical firing in nociceptors
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>TRPA1 has been implicated in both chemo- and mechanosensation. Recent work demonstrates that inhibiting TRPA1 function reduces mechanical hypersensitivity produced by inflammation. Furthermore, a broad range of chemical irritants req...
