Researchers found that a pain receptor called TRPA1 becomes less sensitive in mosquitoes when exposed to heat, meaning that the chemical cues that typically trigger insect avoidance behaviors are ...

This is the first demonstration of a Mendelian pain phenotype caused by a mutation in TRPA1... According to James Cox, one of the lead authors, “a large family was ascertained [by Francisco ...

During her PhD research, she identified transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) as a vascular cold sensor and made significant contribution to the mechanistic understanding of TRPA1 in vascular ...
