Recent findings have implied a distinct therapeutic potential for drugs targeting Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels in a wide variety of diseases, many with no existing satisfactory treatment options. Thus, the TRP superfamily of ion channels has attracted a great deal of well-deserved attention. TRP Channels in Drug Discovery provides a thorough collection of the most up-to- date reviews and protocols on the subject, coming from top experts in the field. Volume I presents a series of state-of-the-art minireviews on the most interesting TRP channels (from TRPA1 to TRPV4), as well as...

With state-of-the-art reviews of the most interesting TRP channels, from TRPA1 to TRPV4, this volume contains key tips on implementation as well as clear and focused laboratory-ready protocols on TRP channels and disorders of airways and the GU tract.

This volume in the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology (TM) series covers modeling methodologies involving disorders of the cardiovascular system, the brain, skin and metabolic system, as well as colitis, cancer, thermosensation and musculoskeletal disorders.
