Our ability to sense heat, cold, touch or pain is essential for survival and underpins our interaction with the world around us. TRPV1 is the sensor that responds to heat and activates nerve cells causing pain sensations. How TRPV1 exerts this function is still an unsolved riddle. The processes of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by kinases are crucial for TRPV1 function. Recent data…

RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a serine/threonine kinase known as a 'sentinel' molecule due to its role in monitoring extracellular factors that threats cellular physiology. PKR activation represents the initial steps of cellular adaptation after pathogen invasion or any other stimulus that causes adaptative changes to a new cellular environment. In addition to the action of double…
Analgesic drugs that act through opioid receptors represent the main analgesic option for severe pain caused cancer, burning, post-surgical pain or urolithiasis. However, the pharmacological control of chronic pain is frequently unsatisfactory and the long-term use of opioids, such as morphine, often causes tolerance, physical dependence, and respiratory depression. Recently, we found rob…
