Thermosensation: Some like it hot [PDF]
Current 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]
, 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.

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

Cerulenin inhibits unsaturated fatty acids synthesis in Bacillus subtilis by modifying the input signal of DesK thermosensor [PDF]
, 2014 Bacillus subtilis responds to a sudden decrease in temperature by transiently inducing the expression of the des gene encoding for a lipid desaturase, D5-Des, which introduces a double bond into the acyl chain of preexisting membrane phospholipids.

Thermosensing via transmembrane protein–lipid interactions
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2015 Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer containing proteins that cross and/or interact with lipids on either side of the two leaflets. The basic structure of cell membranes is this bilayer, composed of two opposing lipid monolayers with fascinating properties designed to perform all the functions the cell requires. To coordinate these functions,

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.Climate change is driving earlier spring leaf‐out across temperate regions, but the genetic mechanisms and environmental interactions underlying this variability are poorly understood. We conducted a controlled growth chamber experiment using excised northern red oak (Quercus rubra) branches, testing the influence of temperature and photoperiod on leaf

Genetics‐Based Targeting Strategies for Precise Neuromodulation
Advanced 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.

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

The secreted autotransporter toxin (Sat) does not act as a virulence factor in the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a probiotic used in the treatment of intestinal diseases. Although it is considered safe, EcN is closely related to the uropathogenic E.
