• Sensory neuron-specific GPCR Mrgprs are itch receptors mediating chloroquine-induced pruritus. (2009, background): “Therefore, Mrgprs may provide molecular access to itch-selective neurons and constitute novel targets for itch therapeutics.”
• TRPA1 is required for histamine-independent, Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor-mediated itch (2011, neutral): “The recent discovery of itch specific spinal cord neurons suggests that central circuits may generate the specificity observed in itch signaling 47, 48 .”
