Joint sequence, structure, and phylogenetic analyses identify highly conserved features in transmembrane domains of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel proteins that offer a novel explanation for how TRPs could integrate stimuli into cellular signals.

Cannabidiol is an ultra potent sensitizer for 2-APB responses in rTRPV2 and mTRPV3 channels but not in rTRPV1 through a mechanism that engages channel regions further from the cannabidiol binding site and the pore.

A dual-color TIRFM study reveals a new form of inflammatory regulation, in which a lipid kinase and ion channel reciprocally regulate each other to amplify the response to painful stimuli.
Vanilloid sensitivity has been introduced into the TRPV2 channel, revealing that the gating and permeation properties of this enigmatic TRP channel are remarkably similar to the capsaicin receptor.
A previously unknown calcium channel in human placental trophoblasts provides a calcium source for activating TMEM16F lipid scramblase that flip-flops phospholipids on cell surface, demonstrating a physiological mechanism that helps to understand how lipid dynamics regulates cell fusion.
TRPV4 and ANO1 are co-expressed in the sweat glands of mouse food pads and found to be involved in perspiration, suggesting that local temperature sensation through TRPV4 could control seating.
