Fifty years of development of neuroscientific insights into oro‐facial pain and its control

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 860-876, September 2023., 2023
Abstract When the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation was established in 1973, there was very limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying neurally based functions, including those unique to the face, mouth and jaws (e.g. dental pain, taste, chewing, swallowing and salivation). Since that time, technological and other advances have led to new insights

High triacylglycerol turnover is required for efficient opening of stomata during heat stress in Arabidopsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 115, Issue 1, Page 81-96, July 2023., 2023
SUMMARY Heat stress triggers the accumulation of triacylglycerols in Arabidopsis leaves, which increases basal thermotolerance. However, how triacylglycerol synthesis is linked to thermotolerance remains unclear and the mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated.

The adaptive evolution of cold‐activated TRPM8 in wildlife vertebrates 野生脊椎动物TRPM8冷激活的适应性进化

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2023., 2023
The functional evolution of TRPM8 cold activation underwent a two‐step model: (1) the cold‐sensitive MHR1‐3 domain located in N‐terminus established during water‐to‐land transition, which bestowed TRPM8 orthologs in amphibians and reptiles with cold‐ sensing ability; (2) Based on the evolved MHR1‐3 domain, more advanced terrestrial vertebrates further ...

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 ...

Daytime temperature is sensed by phytochrome B in Arabidopsis through a transcriptional activator HEMERA. [PDF]

, 2019
Ambient temperature sensing by phytochrome B (PHYB) in Arabidopsis is thought to operate mainly at night. Here we show that PHYB plays an equally critical role in temperature sensing during the daytime.

Isolate Specific Cold Response of Yersinia enterocolitica in Transcriptional, Proteomic, and Membrane Physiological Changes [PDF]

, 2020
Yersinia enterocolitica, a zoonotic foodborne pathogen, is able to withstand low temperatures. This psychrotrophic ability allows it to multiply in food stored in refrigerators. However, little is known about the Y. enterocolitica cold response.

Optical Nanofiber Skins for Multifunctional Humanoid Tactility

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
By embedding the optical nanofibers (ONF) into elastomeric films, multimodal artificial skins that can respond to temperature and force stimuli are achieved. Special modules are further assembled on the ONF skins to recognize material properties including hardness, texture, and thermal conductivity. Commercial robots equipped with the ONF skins perform

What Temperature of Coffee Exceeds the Pain Threshold? Pilot Study of a Sensory Analysis Method as Basis for Cancer Risk Assessment

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 ...

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 ...
