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.

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.

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.

Thermosensation and longevity [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015
Temperature has profound effects on behavior and aging in both poikilotherms and homeotherms. To thrive under the ever fluctuating environmental temperatures, animals have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to sense and adapt to temperature changes. Animals sense temperature through various molecular thermosensors, such as thermosensitive transient ...

TRP channels in thermosensation

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2022
The ability to sense external temperature is assumed by somatosensory neurons, in which temperature information is converted to neural activity by afferent input to the central nervous system. Somatosensory neurons consist of various populations with specialized gene expression, including thermosensitive transient receptor potential ion channels ...

Hot topic: Thermosensing in plants [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2020
AbstractPlants alter their morphology and cellular homeostasis to promote resilience under a variety of heat regimes. Molecular processes that underlie these responses have been intensively studied and found to encompass diverse mechanisms operating across a broad range of cellular components, timescales and temperatures.

Hydrogen‐Bonded Cholesteric Liquid Crystals—A Modular Approach Toward Responsive Photonic Materials

Advanced Photonics Research, 2022
A supramolecular approach for photonic materials based on hydrogen‐bonded cholesteric liquid crystals is presented. The modular toolbox of low‐molecular‐weight hydrogen‐bond donors and acceptors provides a simple route toward liquid crystalline materials

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 ...

Mechanism of bidirectional thermotaxis in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

, 2017
In bacteria various tactic responses are mediated by the same cellular pathway, but sensing of physical stimuli remains poorly understood. Here, we combine an in-vivo analysis of the pathway activity with a microfluidic taxis assay and mathematical ...

Thermosensing Enlightened

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.
