🧠Pain sensors need to switch on fast—and off just as quickly. In our new tour de force Nat Comms paper - led by the first Paulsen lab grad student - we show that calmodulin plays a key role in shutting down the TRPA1 pain receptor - a finding that could guide new pain therapies. 📰

Calmodulin binding is required for calcium mediated TRPA1 desensitization
Nature Communications - For pain signaling to be useful, sensory receptors must rapidly detect noxious stimuli and efficiently turn off once the threat has passed. Here, the authors uncover a...
