What a heartbreaking novel. I saw Kasdan's film version in the 80s, a very good movie with one of the all time best siblings castings (William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Ed Begley Jr & David Ogden Stiers).

"Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a receptor for capsaicin and noxious heat, has been one of the most compelling targets for analgesics. However, systemic inhibition of TRPV1 is an impractical approach as a pain killer, since systemic antagonism induces hyperthermia. Two articles in this issue of the JCI report phenotypes from separate, rare missense mutations of human TRPV1."
