For example, sensory cells in the skin respond to the ... When a signaling molecule joins with an appropriate receptor on a cell surface, this binding triggers a chain of events that not only ...
Note that while they may serve as sensory receptor cell specializations, primary cilia can simultaneously support major IFT functions of the cell (Figure 3). The primary cilium has gone from being ...
The sensory epithelium makes up only a small portion of the wall of the membranous chamber and contains sensory receptor cells and surrounding supporting cells (supporting cells are not shown in the ...
Hair cells are the sensory receptor cells of hearing and balance. They are as important for the senses of the inner ear as chemoreceptors are for taste and smell; as photoreceptors are for vision; and ...
These cells never come in contact with environmental signals like those near the skin but are studded with receptors that appear to get sensory input from hormones, proteins and other biochemical ...

A sensory twist in the story of human evolutionOlfr558 is a fairly straightforward olfactory receptor. It shows up, among many others of its kind, on the surface of cells in the nose in humans and other mammals. There it attaches to odor ...
When the SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the human body, it breaks into cells with the help of two proteins that it finds there, ACE2 and TMPRSS2. While there has been much discussion of viral infection in ...
A study found that heat reduces the effectiveness of natural mosquito repellents like citronella and catnip oil by desensitizing TRPA1, a receptor mosquitoes use to detect irritants. At temperatures ...
