Molecular targets of amino acid/neurotransmitter conjugates of fatty acids

这个项目研究影响细胞的内源性化学物质，这些细胞对疼痛的检测和反应很重要。我们的目标是发现这些化合物如何影响对神经细胞功能重要的蛋白质，特别是在检测和传递疼痛事件中起重要作用的蛋白质。我们研究的这些化合物本身不太可能是药物，但未来的治疗可能包括控制这些化学物质在体内的水平，或者使用模仿这些化合物活性的药物。

This project investigates endogenous chemicals that affect cells important for detecting and responding to pain. We aim to discover how these compounds affect proteins important for nerve cell function, particularly proteins that have a prominent role in detecting and transmitting painful events. The compounds we examine are not themselves likely to be drugs, but future therapies may involve manipulating the levels of these chemicals in the body, or using drugs that mimic the activity of these compounds.
