An epigenomic threshold hypothesis for integrating dynamic environmental signals into functional models of developmental polyphenisms

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3050-3060, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between developing embryos and a multitude of environmental factors (e.g. climate, nutrition, social cues, stress and anthropogenic contaminants) underlie adaptive and non‐adaptive developmental plasticity and carry broad implications across ecological ...

Tackling thermosensation with multidimensional phenotyping [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2012
Most if not all animals sense temperature using specialized thermosensory neurons. Genetic studies in simple organisms have been used to identify gene products required for detecting temperature changes or for mediating the effects of temperature on behaviour.

Interhelical h-bonds modulate the activity of a polytopic transmembrane kinase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
DesK is a Histidine Kinase that allows Bacillus subtilis to maintain lipid homeostasis in response to changes in the environment. It is located in the membrane, and has five transmembrane helices and a cytoplasmic catalytic domain.

Florigen and Florigen‐Like Genes Regulate Temperature‐Responsive Flowering in Tomato

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 39, October 20, 2025.
This study uncovers that FLOWERING LOCUS T‐Like 2 (FTL2) and SINGLE‐FLOWER TRUSS (SFT) antagonistically regulate temperature‐responsive flowering in the tomato shoot apical meristem. High temperature induces floral repressor FTL2, which directly inhibits SFT to delay short‐day floral transition, while SFT reciprocally inhibits FTL2 to promote flowering.

Functional assessment of temperature-gated ion-channel activity using a real-time PCR machine

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2009
The functional activity of a number of ion channels is highly sensitive to large changes in temperature. Foremost among these are the thermosensing TRP channels which include cold- (TRPM8, TRPA1), warmth- (TRPV3, TRPV4), and heat-sensing (TRPV1, TRPV2 ...

Novel hypercapsulation RNA thermosensor variants in Neisseria meningitidis and their association with invasive meningococcal disease: a genetic and phenotypic investigation and molecular epidemiological study

open access: yesThe Lancet Microbe, 2020
Summary: Background: Neisseria meningitidis is the causative agent of invasive meningococcal disease and the polysaccharide capsule is one of its major virulence factors.

Flame‐Retardant Ionogel Enabled by Lignin Molecular Networks for Fire Rescue

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 35, September 18, 2025.
Wearable sensors for harsh, high‐temperature, fire‐prone environments face challenges in heat resistance and stability. This study introduces a flame‐retardant, waterproof glycol lignin ionogel (GLI) with a robust 3D network, exceptional tensile strength, strong adhesion, biocompatibility, eco‐safety, and dual temperature‐motion sensing, even after ...

Thermosensation: Some like it hot [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1995
The ability of organisms to respond to fluctuating temperatures is ubiquitous but poorly understood. Recent studies of nematodes reveal specific sensory neurons and interneurons that mediate thermotaxis.

OXYGEN GRADIENTS CAUSE PATTERN ORIENTATION IN DICTYOSTELIUM CELL CLUMPS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
We have investigated the formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyottelium discoideum. Pattern formation occurs in clumps of Dictyostelium cells embedded in agar under a 100% oxygen atmosphere.

Genetics‐Based Targeting Strategies for Precise Neuromodulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 28, July 24, 2025.
In this Review, the fundamental principles and implementation protocols of genetics‐based precision neuromodulation are first introduced. Then, wireless and low‐invasive strategies based on nano‐transducing materials are highlighted, along with a dissection and analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of representative studies.
