Menthol Receptor-A Thermosensitivity Determinant in Cold Temperature

... isolated, cultured nerve cells that express TRPM8 react to cooling stimuli, but cells cultured from mice lacking TRPM8 do not. Also, mice engineered without TRPM8 are much less sensitive to cold than mice with TRPM8. TRPM8 does not seem to be the sole receptor responsible for detecting cold, Jordt said....

Chilean President's Cousin Successfully Tests Allergy 'Knockout' Technique on Mice

..., as a result of exposure to allergens, mast cells react violently and release an enormous array of pro-inflammatory substances, of which histamine is a well-known example. They later on attract inflammatory cells that will maintain the response, which often persists as a chronic disease. Bachelet's stud...

Adenoviruses Could Help Kick Drinking
