University of Michigan researchers discover a protein enabling mammals to sense cold, published in Nature Neuroscience.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered a protein responsible for enabling mammals to sense cold, filling a knowledge gap in sensory biology. Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, could aid understanding of how humans sense and endure cold temperatures and why some patients experience cold differently under certain disease conditions. The study follows a 2019 discovery of a cold-sensing receptor protein in Caenorhabditis elegans.
