Accurate prediction of thermoresponsive phase behavior of disordered proteins. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Under heat stress, proteins have been shown to organize into biomolecular condensates in living cells. Recent experiments suggest that this response may be encoded in the chemical makeup of proteins. In particular, specific sequences undergo phase separation at elevated temperatures, exhibiting lower critical solution temperatures (LCST ...

Foods, 2018 The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) evaluates “very hot (>65 °C) beverages” as probably carcinogenic to humans. However, there is a lack of research regarding what temperatures consumers actually perceive as &ldquo ...

TREKing noxious thermosensation [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2009 The ability to sense environmental temperature as pleasant or unpleasant is associated with the activity of thermo‐sensitive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Differential sensation of pleasant environmental temperatures (warm and cool) versus unpleasant and noxious (cold and hot) temperatures requires the definition of thresholds and ...

The Cellular Code for Mammalian Thermosensation [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Mammalian somatosenory neurons respond to thermal stimuli and allow animals to reliably discriminate hot from cold and to select their preferred environments. Previously, we generated mice that are completely insensitive to temperatures from noxious cold to painful heat (−5 to 55°C) by ablating several different classes of nociceptor early in ...

The Ionotropic Receptors IR21a and IR25a mediate cool sensing in Drosophila
eLife, 2016 Animals rely on highly sensitive thermoreceptors to seek out optimal temperatures, but the molecular mechanisms of thermosensing are not well understood.

Thermosensation: Some like it hot [PDF]
Current Biology, 1995 The ability of organisms to respond to fluctuating temperatures is ubiquitous but poorly understood. Recent studies of nematodes reveal specific sensory neurons and interneurons that mediate thermotaxis.

Sex difference in thermal preference of adult mice does not depend on presence of the gonads
Biology of Sex Differences, 2017 Background The thermoneutral zone (TNZ) is a species-specific range of ambient temperature (T a), at which mammals can maintain a constant body temperature with the lowest metabolic rate. The TNZ for an adult mouse is between 26 and 34 °C. Interestingly,

Molecular Processes in Biological Thermosensation [PDF]
Journal of Biophysics, 2008 Since thermal gradients are almost everywhere, thermosensation could represent one of the oldest sensory transduction processes that evolved in organisms. There are many examples of temperature changes affecting the physiology of living cells. Almost all classes of biological macromolecules in a cell (nucleic acids, lipids, proteins) can present a ...
