Neuroprotection in ischemia: blocking calcium-permeable acid-sensing ion channels.

TL;DR: It is shown that acidosis activates Ca2+ -permeable acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), inducing glutamate receptor-independent, Ca2-dependent, neuronal injury inhibited by ASIC blockers, and disclosing new potential therapeutic targets for stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DRASIC Cation Channel Contributes to the Detection of Cutaneous Touch and Acid Stimuli in Mice

TL;DR: The data suggest that DRASic subunits participate in heteromultimeric channel complexes in sensory neurons, and in different cellular contexts, DRASIC may respond to mechanical stimuli or to low pH to mediate normal touch and pain sensation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acid-sensing ion channels: advances, questions and therapeutic opportunities

TL;DR: Advances in understanding of acid-sensing ion channels, their potential contributions to disease, and the possibility for their therapeutic modification are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mammalian sodium channel BNC1 is required for normal touch sensation.

TL;DR: It is shown that disrupting the mouse BNC1 gene markedly reduces the sensitivity of a specific component of mechanosensation: low-threshold rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors, and this data identify the B NC1 channel as essential for the normal detection of light touch and indicate that BNC 1 may be a central component of a mechanosensory complex.
