Описание:

The scientific understanding of pain mechanisms has increased dramatically in the last few years, and, in turn, so has the need for a comprehensive volume on the molecular biology of pain and the development of analgesic drugs. Molecular Basis of Pain Induction provides a much–needed reference that covers a broad spectrum of issues while focusing on the molecular aspects of pain and the most recent genetic studies. This volume reviews the numerousrecent advances in the molecular aspects of pain that have aided in the development of analgesic drugs. In such a rapidly growing area of biology, it is essential to thoroughly comprehend how genes involved in pain are identified and whether any new drugs have resulted from pain studies. The development and function of nociceptors is one of the outcomes of these vital molecular genetic studies, and this text reviews the activation of nociceptors by a variety of chemical, thermal, and mechanical stimuli. Some of the other fascinating...
