Sensory neurons play a crucial role in the perception of "hot" and "cold”. They express a group of ion channels called thermosensitive TRP channels. For example, TRPV1 (activated above 43°C) and TRPM8 ...
An elusive neurotransmitter pathway in the skin may have been isolated by University of Oregon researchers, a discovery that, if confirmed, would be a leap forward in understanding how temperature ...
Researchers at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili developed a device that monitors skin temperature continuously without the need for batteries. The device can detect small temperature variations ...
