The paper develops a method to analytically estimate thermodynamic parameters of thermoTRP channels using algebraic calculations based on patch-clamp data.

This study maps mechanical sensitivity across the human palm, finding higher tactile sensitivity in distal areas and inverse correlation between tactile and pain sensitivity.

The paper shows inflammation causes a distal shift of the axon initial segment in inhibitory spinal cord neurons, reducing their excitability and contributing to pain.
