G protein-coupled receptor-based thermosensation determines temperature acclimatization of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAnimals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain poorly understood.

Uncommon opsin’s retinal isomer is involved in mammalian sperm thermotaxis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn recent years it became apparent that, in mammals, rhodopsin and other opsins, known to act as photosensors in the visual system, are also present in spermatozoa, where they function as highly sensitive thermosensors for thermotaxis.

Requirement of ClpX for CtsR dissociation from its operator elements upon heat stress in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyA sudden increase in temperature triggers Bacillus subtilis to activate expression of stress-specific heat shock proteins of the CtsR (class three stress gene repressor) regulon to withstand the adverse conditions.

Thermosensory Roles of G Protein-Coupled Receptors and Other Cellular Factors in Animals. [PDF]
BioessaysRecent studies have revealed GPCR functions in temperature sensation. This article introduces dual thermosensing via GPCRs and TRP channels associated with the intracellular signaling components and cellular factors such as lipid interactions and pH changes, highlighting the complexity of the temperature sensing mechanism.

Intra- and inter-session reliability and repeatability of an infrared thermography device designed for materials to measure skin temperature of the triceps surae muscle tissue of athletes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Infrared thermography devices have been commonly applied to measure superficial temperature in structural composites and walls. These tools were cheaper than other thermographic devices used to measure superficial human muscle tissue ...

Thermosensory TRPV Heterotetramers Drive Seasonal Polyphenism: Molecular Basis of CcIav/CcNan-PKCα-AKH/AKHR Signaling in Pear Psyllid Morph Transition. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

Thermosensation and longevity [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015 Temperature has profound effects on behavior and aging in both poikilotherms and homeotherms. To thrive under the ever fluctuating environmental temperatures, animals have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to sense and adapt to temperature changes. Animals sense temperature through various molecular thermosensors, such as thermosensitive transient ...

TRP channels in thermosensation
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2022 The ability to sense external temperature is assumed by somatosensory neurons, in which temperature information is converted to neural activity by afferent input to the central nervous system. Somatosensory neurons consist of various populations with specialized gene expression, including thermosensitive transient receptor potential ion channels ...

Hot topic: Thermosensing in plants [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2020 AbstractPlants alter their morphology and cellular homeostasis to promote resilience under a variety of heat regimes. Molecular processes that underlie these responses have been intensively studied and found to encompass diverse mechanisms operating across a broad range of cellular components, timescales and temperatures.
