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 Toxicology(TM) 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.
