Meningitis pathogens evade immune responses by thermosensing [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2019 Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of death and disability in children worldwide. Two human restricted pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, are the major causative agents of bacterial meningitis, attributing to 200,000 ...

Thermosensing Enlightened. [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Oral thermosensing by murine trigeminal neurons: modulation by capsaicin, menthol, and mustard oil [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2018 When consumed with foods, mint, mustard and chili peppers generate pronounced oral thermosensations. Here we recorded responses in mouse trigeminal ganglion neurons to investigate interactions between thermal sensing and the active ingredients of these ...

Sex difference in thermal preference of adult mice does not depend on presence of the gonads [PDF]
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,
