Activation of thermoreceptors mediates raw garlic's burning pungency

The worldwide popularity of garlic as a food ingredient and its therapeutic stature in folklore both stem in part from the distinctive pungency associated with its raw, uncooked state. Researchers this week report that this pungency, manifested as a characteristic mixture of burning and prickling sensations and flavor, can be ascribed largely to the effects of a particular compound and its abilit...

Molecular thermometers on skin cells detect heat and camphor

The human brain is like a general in a bunker. Floating in its bubble of cerebrospinal fluid, it has no direct window to the outside world, so the only way for the brain to observe, comprehend, and order the body into action is to rely on information it receives. This information comes to it through a sophisticated system of sensory neurons that connect the brain to organs like the eye, ear, nose...

Research reveals inner workings of immune system 'thermostat'

When bacteria, viruses or parasites attack, immune system cells unleash the soldiers. These "hot" protein compounds kill invaders ?but also trigger inflammation, which, if unchecked, can destroy tissue, induce shock and kill the host. So immune system cells let loose another protein compound to cool down the immune response. Precisely how this immune system "thermostat" operates is unclea...

Normalizing cDNA libraries using the EppendorfThermomixer

During many experiments in molecular biology, the individual mRNA expression pattern of a cell is examined in order to investigate the reaction of a cell to exogenous influences such as viral infections or medical treatment. To allow unstable mRNA to be examined more thoroughly, it is converted to cDNA. If all iso...

Rapid PCR* Using Active Tube Temperature Control On Thermo's PCR Machines

Solutions Note The time taken to complete a standard PCRprotocol is becoming increasingly important forresearchers today. Whilst many manufacturers ofthermal cyclers focus on pushing the limits of ramprates, in this article we highlight how Thermo's approach of focussing on ach...

A simple method to sequence from bacterial colonies using [a-33P] radiolabeled ddNTPs and Thermo Sequenase

In traditional DNA sequencing systems, sequencing products are radioactively labeled using either endlabeled primers or by the incorporation of radiolabeled dNTPs during primer extension. Successful sequencing results produced by these two labeling methods are highly dependent on template quality. DNA containing nicks, breaks, impurities o...

Bronchial thermoplasty – a promising treatment for asthmatic

According to Canadian researchers, asthma patients’ quality of life can be drastically improved by removing the muscle tissue (by heating it) in the hyperactive airways. This// reduces the intensity of the problem. The investigators announced this during CHEST 2006, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians.The Asthma Intervention Research trial was conducted on 1...

Menthol Receptor-A Thermosensitivity Determinant in Cold Temperature

According to a study in Nature by Yale School of Medicine, the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Wisconsin, the menthol receptor detects a wide range of cold temperatures and relays the information to the brain. The finding solves the mystery of how important the ion channel TRPM8 is for alerting the body to cold temperatures.TRPM8 is the primary...
