Engineering vanilloid-sensitivity into the rat TRPV2 channel
eLife, 2016 The TRPV1 channel is a detector of noxious stimuli, including heat, acidosis, vanilloid compounds and lipids. The gating mechanisms of the related TRPV2 channel are poorly understood because selective high affinity ligands are not available, and the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Fluorescence Turns on‐off‐on Sensing of Ferric Ion and L‐Ascorbic Acid by Carbon Quantum Dots
Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 This study used a hydrothermal approach to create a sensitive and focused nanoprobe. Using an “on‐off‐on” sensing mechanism, the nanoprobe was employed to detect and quantify ferric ions and L‐ascorbic acid. Synthesis of the carbon quantum dots was achieved with a single hydrothermal step at 180°C for 24 hours using hot pepper as the starting material.
