A cold 'sensor' which triggers the skin's vascular response to the cold could represent a new therapeutic target for the treatment of frostbite and hypothermia, according to scientists at King's College London. The study explains TRPA1's role in cold exposure and provides impetus for further research into how this gene could be targeted to enhance the body's protective response to cold.

TRPA1 Gene Could Help in the Treatment of Frostbite and Hypothermia
