New Content ItemA review series of TRP channels focusing on their temperature sensitivity. Especially, 1) thermosensing properties of the thermosensitive TRP channels, 2) how are those thermosensitive channels involved in temperature-dependent physiological functions?, 3) structure basis of temperature sensitivity (which is not well known) are the main topics.

  1. Temperature detection is essential for the survival and perpetuation of any species. Thermoreceptors in the skin sense body temperature as well as the temperatures of ambient air and objects. Since Dr. David J...
