Abstract
AbstractThe Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch. TRP and Piezo channels also have several additional physiological functions, so targeting their functions could be a promising therapeutic target for different diseases, including the management of pain.
