... Abstract Thanks to powerful heat therapy devices, maintaining the right temperature in (preterm) neonates does not seem to be a major problem anymore. Nevertheless, admission hypothermia continues to be an issue, even in high-income countries. Beyond their limited capacities to control heat...

... Abstract In the sensory hair cells of the mammalian cochlea, the primary cilia in the planar cell polarity as well as the tight junctions in the epithelial cell polarity and the barrier are important to maintain normal hearing. Temperature-sensitive mouse cochlear precursor hair cells were used...

..., and the bitter cold of the Arctic, extremes which can span more than 100°C. Nevertheless, humans are able to maintain body core temperature to within a relatively narrow range (35-41°C). Human ability to regulate body temperature and successfully cope with metabolic and environmental extremes involves a host...
