Dynamic evolution of transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channel family with numerous gene duplications and losses

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channel family is involved in multiple sensory and physiological functions including thermosensing and temperature-dependent neuroendocrine regulation.

TREKing noxious thermosensation [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2009
The ability to sense environmental temperature as pleasant or unpleasant is associated with the activity of thermo‐sensitive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Differential sensation of pleasant environmental temperatures (warm and cool) versus unpleasant and noxious (cold and hot) temperatures requires the definition of thresholds and ...

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.

Technologies for the automated collection of heat stress data in sheep

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2021
The automated collection of phenotypic measurements in livestock is becoming increasingly important to both researchers and farmers. The capacity to non-invasively collect real-time data, provides the opportunity to better understand livestock behaviour ...

Behavioral genetics of thermosensation and hygrosensation in Drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996
Whereas temperature and humidity are critical variables affecting physiology, behavior, and evolution, the genetic and neuronal underpinnings of thermosensation and hygrosensation remain poorly understood. We have initiated a behavioral-genetic investigation of these sensory systems in Drosophila.

Fabrication of Microbolometer Arrays Based on Polymorphous Silicon–Germanium

open access: yesSensors, 2020
This work reports the development of arrays of infrared sensors (microbolometers) using a hydrogenated polymorphous silicon–germanium alloy (pm-SixGe1-x:H). Basically, polymorphous semiconductors consist of an amorphous semiconductor matrix with embedded

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.
