Photopharmacology: using light to control cold sensors

Researchers have developed a molecule that allows an important ion channel to be regulated – a breakthrough with therapeutic potential

19-Dec-2024 - Located in the cell membrane, TRPM8 ion channels are known as receptors that recognize cold and respond to menthol, the cooling agent in peppermint. In addition, these channels influence pain perception and play a key role in numerous diseases. This makes them promising targets for the ...
