The physiological role of TRP channels in sleep and circadian rhythm. [PDF]
J Cell Mol MedAbstract TRP channels, are non‐specific cationic channels that are involved in multiple physiological processes that include salivation, cellular secretions, memory extinction and consolidation, temperature, pain, store‐operated calcium entry, thermosensation and functionality of the nervous system.

Cells and circuits for thermosensation in mammals [PDF]
Neuroscience Letters, 2019 How is temperature detected and how is the resulting sensory information synthesized to produce appropriate thermosensory responses? Research in the last few years has gone a long way to answering the first part of this question. Excitingly, recent research has uncovered some of the ways sensory inputs are processed spinally, as well as identifying ...

The role of TRPA1 channels in thermosensation
Cell Insight, 2022 Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal nonselective cation channel sensitive to different physical and chemical stimuli. TRPA1 is associated with many important physiological functions in different species and thus is involved in different degrees of evolution.

Trends in Plant Science, 2017 Understanding the molecular networks driving plant responses to high ambient temperatures is crucial for developing crop cultivars resistant to global warming. Although several factors involved in temperature signalling are known, a thermosensing mechanism had remained elusive.

Engineering vanilloid-sensitivity into the rat TRPV2 channel
eLife, 2016 The TRPV1 channel is a detector of noxious stimuli, including heat, acidosis, vanilloid compounds and lipids. The gating mechanisms of the related TRPV2 channel are poorly understood because selective high affinity ligands are not available, and the ...

Injury Threshold of Oral Contact with Hot Foods and Method for Its Sensory Evaluation
Safety, 2018 Epidemiological studies indicate an increased risk of esophageal cancer from the consumption of very hot foods and beverages. The contact time and the contact temperature are decisive for the risk of injury.

RNA thermosensors facilitate Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae immune evasion.
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of death and disability in children worldwide. Two human restricted respiratory pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, are the major causative agents of bacterial meningitis, attributing to ...
