TRP Channels in Drug Discovery: Volume I (Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology)

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 TRP-related protocols involving airways and the genitourinary tract. Written for the __Methods in Pharmacology and ToxicologyTM__ series, this work includes the kind of detailed description and key implementation advice that ensures successful results in the lab. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, __TRP Channels in Drug Discovery__ serves as an ideal reference for graduate students in academic laboratories as well as for pharmaceutical scientists developing new drugs and clinicians interested in novel drugs in the pipeline.
