Thermo‐tone: A newly revealed mechanism of blood flow regulation

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Myogenic tone enables dynamic control of tissue blood flow. This intrinsic property of vascular smooth muscle cells to sense stretch and reflexively adjust the calibre of small arteries is crucial to maintain capillary pressure and a blood flow reserve. For over 120 years blood pressure was considered the sole determinant of myogenic tone. Our

TRPM8 and TRPM2 ion channels determine sex differences in thermal preference in mice

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Too hot or too cold? How do we know? Animals seek a ‘comfort temperature’ in between ‘too hot’ (far left) and ‘too cold’ (far right). In mammals and birds, females (left) prefer warmer temperatures than males (right). We show here that in mice, the comfort temperature is determined by a balance of sensory input (black arrows ...

The interplay between dynamic regulation of ion‐channel gating and trafficking in cardiac arrhythmogenesis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cardiac cellular electrophysiology is modulated by multiple factors, including temperature, extracellular K+, heart rate/pacing frequency, and drugs. These modulators can have distinct effects on ion‐channel gating and transcription/trafficking over time.

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...
