Spicy food isn’t just about personal taste, it’s linked to physical and chemical processes in your body. The key ingredient ...

TRPV1, short for transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype, can be found all over the nervous system, including in skin, the spinal cord and the brain. These receptors can sense heat, trigger ...

Our study suggests that the TRPV1 receptors may send signals that play a role in regulating the extent of locomotor activity." This discovery, which is part of St. Joseph's trauma research, ...

TRPV1, short for transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype, can be found all over the nervous system, including in skin, the spinal cord and the brain. These receptors can sense heat, trigger ...

A new class of painkillers that block a receptor called TRPV1 may interfere with brain functions such as learning and memory, a new study suggests. The experiments with rat brain found that the ...

The discovery of TRPV1 led to the discovery of other temperature receptors, including TRPM8 which is activated by cold. TRPM8 was independently identified by both Julius and his now-co-Nobel-Prize ...

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are the most prominent family of nociceptive ion-channel transducer proteins. This Review highlights evidence supporting particular TRP channels as ...

They’ve focused particularly on TRPV1, a receptor found at the endings of peripheral nerves in the skin that’s integral to detecting temperature and pain, and also responds to capsaicin, the component ...

Disruption of the pain receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 can affect mortality, blood bacteria clearance and cytokine response in sepsis, according to a study published in ...

It is called the TRPV1 receptor, which enables humans to detect heat and spicy foods' burning sensation. The researchers collaborated with scientists from Stanford University, ...
