Temperature sensing is essential in every organism in order to adapt and survive. However, the mechanisms by which temperature is perceived and detected remain unclear. Recent findings on thermally-activated ion channels have shed light on the puzzle and unravel molecular entities for temperature detection and transduction in mammals.
温度感知对于每个生物体适应环境并生存下去至关重要。然而,温度被感知和检测的机制仍不清楚。最近关于热激活离子通道的研究结果为这一谜题带来了曙光,并揭示了哺乳动物中用于温度检测和传导的分子实体。
