abstract：:TRPV1 is a modulator of noxious stimuli known to be important in the cough reflex. We have compared the expression of TRPV1 in normal human airways and those from patients with chronic cough and found that there is up regulation in airways smooth muscle in disease. This increased expression appears to be intracellular...
