1. Localisation of TRP Channels in Mammalian Skin
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologiAbstract : Perception of temperature in mammals is critical for their survival, it enables them to perceive the world around them and act with an appropriate physiological or behavioural response. However, the full understanding of the thermosensory system in mammals has thus far been clouded. READ MORE

2. TRP channels and regulation of blood flow in the brood patch of Zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : During the breeding season Zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata, females develops a brood patch on the ventral surface which facilitates heat exchange between the incubating bird and the egg. The brood patch has to be sensitive to changes in temperature, so that the eggs can be kept at an optimal temperature for embryo development. READ MORE

3. The expression of thermoTRP channels in the brood patch of jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) during egg incubation
University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : The regulation of egg temperature requires the transfer of heat from the brood patch. Thus, the brood patch needs the presence of thermo receptors as well as an appropriate vasomotor response. During the incubation an exact detection of the egg’s temperature is essential. READ MORE

4. A study of TRPV1 and TRPV4 ion channels in the beta cells by using fura-2 based microfluorometry.
University essay from Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutvecklingAbstract : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is an important ion that regulates many cellular functions including exocytosis, contraction of muscles, neural functions, fertilization and cell division. In the plasma membrane of cells there are different Ca2+ channels, including the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. READ MORE
