Activation of TRPA1 and TRPM3 triggers Ca

Summary: Imagine your body has tiny alarm sensors that tell you when something is too hot, dangerous, or painful. Two of these important sensors are called TRPA1 and TRPM3. Scientists used to think they only worked in your outer nerves. But recently, they discovered that these sensors also work deep inside your spinal cord to control how you feel pain. They do this by opening up and letting a mineral called calcium flow into the cells. Understanding how these alarms work in the spine could help doctors find brand new ways to stop chronic pain!
