Thermosensation and the TRPV channel in Rhodnius prolixus
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2015 The thermal sense of triatomine bugs, vectors of Chagas disease, is unique among insects. Not only do these bugs exhibit the highest sensitivity to heat known in any animal up to date, but they can also perceive the infrared radiation emitted by the body of their warm-blooded hosts.

Thermosensing to Adjust Bacterial Virulence in a Fluctuating Environment [PDF]
Future Microbiology, 2012 The lifecycle of most microbial pathogens can be divided into two states: existence outside and inside their hosts. The sudden temperature upshift experienced upon entry from environmental or vector reservoirs into a warm-blooded host is one of the most crucial signals informing the pathogens to adjust virulence gene expression and their host-stress ...

BioEssays, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2024.TRPV3, a warmth sensor, plays a role in maintaining skin homeostasis. The discovery of membrane protein TMEM79 modulation on TRPV3 in keratinocytes underscores their role in warmth sensation. Thus, comprehensive understanding of TRPV3 in physiology and pathology yields insight into skin function.

Chaperones and chaperone-substrate complexes: dynamic playgrounds for NMR spectroscopists [PDF]
, 2015 The majority of proteins depend on a well-defined three-dimensional structure to obtain their functionality. In the cellular environment, the process of protein folding is guided by molecular chaperones to avoid misfolding, aggregation, and the ...

Heat Resistant Organic Dyes for High Temperature Luminescent Temperature Sensing
Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, April 2024.A blue organic emitter is developed with high heat resistance, due to an offset between thermally populating to high‐lying emissive states and facilitated nonradiative decay. By hybridizing with a yellow ESIPT fluorophore, a sensitive ratiometric high‐temperature film thermometer is demonstrated, which enables large‐area thermal mapping and multiple ...

Thermochromic Afterglow from Benzene‐1,4‐Diboronic Acid‐Doped Co‐crystals
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 30, Issue 14, March 7, 2024.The afterglow color of benzene‐1,4‐diboronic acid (BDBA)‐doped co‐crystals with trimethylolpropane (TMP) varied from bluish to greenish color towards an increase of temperature from −132 to 40 °C. Based on the photophysical properties of co‐crystals and TD‐DFT calculations, the molecular distortions at the singlet excited states enhanced the spin‐orbit
