Role of the Preoptic Area in Sleep and Thermoregulation
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Sleep and body temperature are tightly interconnected in mammals: warming up our body helps to fall asleep and the body temperature in turn drops while falling asleep.

Fever and Infection in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
, 2010 Fever is an adaptive response to a variety of infectious, inflammatory, and foreign stimuli. The “febrile response” confers an immunological advantage to the host over invading microorganisms – bacterial, fungal and viral.

The cold-sensing ion channel TRPM8 regulates central and peripheral clockwork and the circadian oscillations of body temperature [PDF]
, 2022 [Abstract] Aim: Physiological functions in mammals show circadian oscillations, synchronized by daily cycles of light and temperature. Central and peripheral clocks participate in this regulation. Since the ion channel TRPM8 is a critical cold sensor, we

Unraveling the metastasis‐preventing effect of miR‐200c in vitro and in vivo
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Advanced tumors and ineffective cancer treatments can lead to metastases in distant organs. The sole expression of microRNA 200c (miR‐200c) in breast cancer cells is shown to significantly reduce metastasis formation in xenograft mouse models. Various in vitro analyses revealed impeded migratory behavior, upon miR‐200c expression, as one prerequisite ...

Double Compton and Cyclo-Synchrotron in Super-Eddington Disks, Magnetized Coronae, and Jets [PDF]
, 2016 We present an extension to the general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic code HARMRAD to account for emission and absorption by thermal cyclo-synchrotron, double Compton, bremsstrahlung, low-temperature OPAL opacities as well as Thomson and Compton scattering.

Emergence and stability of discrete time-crystalline phases in open quantum systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Here we provide a theoretical framework to analyze discrete time-crystalline phases (DTC) in open quantum many-body systems. As a particular realization, we choose a quantum many-body system that exhibits cascaded prethermalization . The analysis uses a fluctuation-regulated quantum master equation.

Core Body Temperature Regulation and Locomotor Activity [PDF]
, 2014 poster abstractMethamphetamine (Meth) enhances locomotor activity, and is known to cause life-threatening hyperthermia. There has been much debate about whether the locomotion plays a major role in hyperthermia caused by Meth or other stimulants.

Effect of ambient temperature on sleep breathing phenotype in mice: the role of orexins [PDF]
, 2020 The loss of orexinergic neurons, releasing orexins, results in narcolepsy. Orexins participate in the regulation of many physiological functions, and their role as wake-promoting molecules has been widely described. Less is known about the involvement of
