As small ectotherms, whose temperature equilibrates almost instantly with that of their
environment, free-living nematodes rely on their behavior for thermoregulation …

Cold sensation is initiated in the periphery by a specialized population of cold-sensitive
neurons, referred to as cold receptors, who transmit decreases in temperature with sub …

Shear stress sensing represents a vital mode of mechanosensation. 1 Previous efforts have
mainly focused on characterizing how various cell types—for example, vascular endothelial …

Caenorhabditis elegans is an exceptionally transparent model to analyze calcium (Ca 2+)
signals, but available protocols for neuronal Ca2+ imaging may not be suitable for studying …

Sensory system, as the initiation of neural activities, allows animals to detect and update
dynamic information of the external world. Losing any sensation can threaten survival. Due …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a small free-living nematode, whose anatomical simplicity,
reduced size and ease of genetic manipulation has made it a powerful model organism for …
