The physiological role of TRP channels in sleep and circadian rhythm. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med
Abstract 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.

Altered thermal preference by preoptic estrogen receptor alpha neurons in postpartum females [PDF]

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: This study aims to investigate how reproductive experience (RE) alters thermal preference and thermoregulation in female mice, with a focus on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-expressing neurons in the preoptic area (POA).

Accurate prediction of thermoresponsive phase behavior of disordered proteins. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract 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 ...

How Rice Responds to Temperature Changes and Defeats Heat Stress [PDF]

Rice
With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, a series of natural phenomena, such as global warming, are gradually recognized; when the ambient temperature increases to the extent that it causes heat stress in plants, agricultural production will ...

G protein-coupled receptor-based thermosensation determines temperature acclimatization of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

Nature Communications
Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain poorly understood.

Requirement of ClpX for CtsR dissociation from its operator elements upon heat stress in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
A 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.

Uncommon opsin’s retinal isomer is involved in mammalian sperm thermotaxis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In 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.

Temperature-controlled molecular switches in mammalian cells. [PDF]

J Biol Chem
Temperature is an omnipresent factor impacting on many aspects of life. In bacteria and ectothermic eukaryotes, various thermosensors and temperature-controlled switches have been described, ranging from RNA thermometers controlling the heat shock ...

Gene Regulatory Changes Associated With Phenological Transitions in an Ecologically Significant Tree Species. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
Climate change is driving earlier spring leaf‐out across temperate regions, but the genetic mechanisms and environmental interactions underlying this variability are poorly understood. We conducted a controlled growth chamber experiment using excised northern red oak (Quercus rubra) branches, testing the influence of temperature and photoperiod on leaf
