Keep the cool feeling: A lipid enzyme for maintaining cool temperature sensation and avoidance

Researchers have identified a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT)-coding gene named bishu-1 that maintains the expression level of thermal receptors and modulates cool temperature sensation and avoidance behavior. The discovery could promote the development of lipid-mediated treatments for maintaining thermosensation in humans.

Researchers map mosquito cells that may help the insects choose tastiest humans

Researchers have mapped mosquito cells that can fine-tune their ability to detect attractive human odors. The discovery may lead to the development of more effective repellents to combat mosquito-borne diseases.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation, USB-C)

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation, USB-C) provide clear calls and strong noise reduction for interviews, conferences, and noisy field environments.

Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors Share Tetrameric Structure With The Voltage GatedPotassium Channel

Research reveals that glutamate receptors, key mediators of brain cell communication, form tetramers similar to voltage-gated potassium channels. The discovery challenges previous theories on how ligand-gated receptors become activated by neurotransmitters.
