A nociceptor (from Latin nocere 'to harm or hurt'; lit. 'pain receptor') is a sensory neuron that responds to damaging or potentially damaging stimuli...

Melittin also activates nociceptor (pain receptor) cells through a variety of mechanisms. Melittin can open thermal nociceptor TRPV1 channels via cyclooxygenase...

nociceptors, which are found in the skin, on internal surfaces such as the periosteum, joint surfaces, and in some internal organs. Some nociceptors are...

C-fibres. Nociceptors. Two major classes of human C-fibre nociceptors exist: mechano-responsive nociceptors and mechano-insensitive nociceptors. Mechano-responsive...

sensations associated with capsaicin result from "defunctionalization" of nociceptor nerve fibers by causing a topical hypersensitivity reaction in the skin...

Thermoreceptors relay temperature information in normal circumstances. Nociceptors are specialised receptors for signals of pain. The sense of touch in...

"sleeping" or "silent" nociceptors. Thermal nociceptors are activated by noxious heat or cold at various temperatures. Mechanical nociceptors respond to excess...
