Bites to human skin come from female mosquitoes, although some research indicates that males are also attracted to human odors. To find neurons expressing ionotropic receptors in the antennae, the ...

Scientists have found a reason why some people never seem to get warm while others never seem to feel the cold: some nerve cell receptors deep in the body are stimulated by signals other than ...

The team’s study showed that S. aureus releases a protease enzyme, known as V8, which activates a receptor on the nerve fibers that transmit signals from the skin to the brain.
