PRIMARY STUDY

Up-regulation of TRPV1 in mononuclear cells of end-stage kidney disease patients increases susceptibility to N-arachidonoyl-dopamine (NADA)-induced cell death

Key Findings:  TRPV1 (and potentially CB2) antagonism via NADA for example may present novel treatment potential for patients with immune dysfunction in end-stage kidney disease.
