Voltage Gated Sodium Channels
Author: Peter C. Ruben
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642415881
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
A number of techniques to study ion channels have been developed since the electrical basis of excitability was first discovered. Ion channel biophysicists have at their disposal a rich and ever-growing array of instruments and reagents to explore the biophysical and structural basis of sodium channel behavior. Armed with these tools, researchers have made increasingly dramatic discoveries about sodium channels, culminating most recently in crystal structures of voltage-gated sodium channels from bacteria. These structures, along with those from other channels, give unprecedented insight into the structural basis of sodium channel function. This volume of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology will explore sodium channels from the perspectives of their biophysical behavior, their structure, the drugs and toxins with which they are known to interact, acquired and inherited diseases that affect sodium channels and the techniques with which their biophysical and structural properties are studied.

Pain and Neurogenic Inflammation
Author: S.D. Brain
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3034887531
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
This volume is intended to bring together recent advances in the often separate fields of pain and neurogenic inflammation. To this end, eminent researchers from both domains have contributed in-depth discussion of the mechanisms underlying these processes. Individual chapters focus on important recent discoveries such as the cloning of the capsaicin receptor and the discovery of RAMP proteins for CGRP receptors. This book provides an integrated account of recent advances in the fields of pain and neurogenic inflammation. The volume is intended to bring together studies from eminent researchers in the often separate research fields of pain and inflammation. "Pain and Neurogenic Inflammation" is aimed primarily at postgraduate researchers as well as academic and industrial researchers in pain and inflammation but is also likely to be of interest to undergraduate students seeking a firm grounding in the mechanisms underlying these important clinical conditions.
