TRP Channels and Thermosensation
2014Several TRP channels exhibit highly temperature-dependent gating properties, which leads to steep changes in depolarising current upon either cooling or heating. Based on this characteristic feature, these so-called "thermoTRPs" have been widely studied with the aim to elucidate their potential key role as thermosensors in the somatosensory system and ...

Thermosensation and TRP Channels
Somatosensory neurons can sense external temperature by converting sensation of temperature information to neural activity via afferent input to the central nervous system. Various populations of somatosensory neurons have specialized gene expression, including expression of thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels ...Makoto, Tominaga, Makiko, Kashio

Reverse Engineering of a Thermosensing Regulator Switch
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2019To address the mechanism of thermosensing and its implications for molecular engineering, we previously deconstructed the functional components of the bacterial thermosensor DesK, a histidine kinase with a five-span transmembrane domain that detects temperature changes.

Electronic Skin with Multifunction Sensors Based on Thermosensation
Advanced Materials, 2017A multifunctional electronic skin (e-skin) with multimodal sensing capabilities of perceiving mechanical and thermal stimuli, discriminating matter type, and sensing wind is developed using the thermosensation of a platinum ribbon array, whose temperature varies with conductive or convective heat transfer toward the surroundings.

Molecular basis of central thermosensation
2018Classic lesion and physiology experiments identified the hypothalamic preoptic area as a pivotal region in the regulation of temperature homeostasis. The preoptic area can sense changes in local temperature, receives information about ambient temperature, contributes to fever, and can affect thermoregulation in response to several biologic signals ...

Mechanisms of Thermosensation in TRP Channels
2008The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily encompasses a large number of cationic channels that are modulated by a wide variety of physical and chemical stimuli. A notorious subgroup of TRP channels, dubbed thermoTRPs, shows a dramatic dependence on temperature, which can be up to tenfold higher than that of classical ionic channels ...

Anisotropic Nanofluidic Ionic Skin for Pressure-Independent Thermosensing
ACS NanoIonic skin can mimic human skin to sense both temperature and pressure simultaneously. However, a significant challenge remains in creating precise ionic skins resistant to external stimuli interference when subjected to pressure. In this study, we present an innovative approach to address this challenge by introducing a highly anisotropic nanofluidic ...

[Molecular mechanisms underlying thermosensation in mammals].
Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo, 2009Sensing environmental temperature is one of the most important fundamental functions of the living things on the earth. Recently, it has been revealed that several members of the TRP ion channel super family are activated by temperature changes. A number of reports clearly demonstrate that thermal activation of these thermosensitive TRP channels ...
