TL;DR: Characterisation of the role of TRPM3 in airway sensory nerve activation and the cough reflex suggests it may be a novel target for antitussive therapy.

TL;DR: It is shown that bacteria can activate the sensory nerves associated with the cough response, and proposed that this could be an endogenous defensive mechanism designed to expel bacterial infection, and/or could be a method harnessed by some infective agents to spread from carrier to new host.

TL;DR: The fellowship programmes are fundamental to the European Respiratory Society's mission to promote lung health and drive standards for respiratory medicine globally and offer a wide range of training opportunities to boost early career scientists' competitiveness, enhance transnational mobility and promote scientific networks.

TL;DR: A number of different modalities activate TRPA1 on sensory nerves and they, with the exception of 10°C, are mediated via an oxidative stress response, Interestingly, it appears that a number of stimuli are dependent on NADPH oxidase activity to activateTRPA1.
