Thermosensing ability of TRPC5: current knowledge and unsettled questions. [PDF]
J Physiol SciOur understanding of how the mammalian somatosensory system detects noxious cold is still limited. While the role of TRPM8 in signaling mild non-noxious coolness is reasonably understood, the molecular identity of channels transducing painful cold ...

Thermosensing to adjust bacterial virulence in a fluctuating environment. [PDF]
Future Microbiology, 2013 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 ...

Thermosensing via transmembrane protein-lipid interactions. [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2015 Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer containing proteins that cross and/or interact with lipids on either side of the two leaflets. The basic structure of cell membranes is this bilayer, composed of two opposing lipid monolayers with fascinating properties designed to perform all the functions the cell requires. To coordinate these functions,
