Journal ArticleDOI

The general anesthetic propofol excites nociceptors by activating TRPV1 and TRPA1 rather than GABAA receptors

TL;DR: TRPV1 and TRPA1 are identified as key molecules for propofol-induced excitation of sensory neurons, and further investigations into the role of anesthetics to induce nociceptor sensitization and to foster postoperative pain are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Molecular Basis for Species-specific Activation of Human TRPA1 Protein by Protons Involves Poorly Conserved Residues within Transmembrane Domains 5 and 6

TL;DR: The data suggest that hTRPA1 acts as a sensor for extracellular acidosis in human sensory neurons and should thus be taken into account as a yet unrecognized transduction molecule for proton-evoked pain and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient opening of the perineurial barrier for analgesic drug delivery

TL;DR: The function and regulation of claudin-1 in the perineurium as the major sealing component is established, which could be modulated to facilitate drug delivery or, potentially, reseal the barrier under pathological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscarinic M2 Receptors on Peripheral Nerve Endings: A Molecular Target of Antinociception

TL;DR: Data provide direct evidence that M2 receptors on cutaneous nerve endings mediate effective depression of nociceptive responsiveness and should be of interest for the development of novel classes of analgesic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

A technique for fast application of heated solutions of different composition to cultured neurones.

TL;DR: The technique is used for classifying sensory neurones in culture with respect to their sensitivity to heat and algogens; however, it is applicable to any study of the effects of increased temperature on the activity of ion channels in cultured cells.
