UB researchers have uncovered how heat causes a critical receptor protein within cells to unfold and relay pain.

Hotter temperatures may render natural insect repellents less effective against mosquitoes, according to a new study.

While the response is almost instant, researchers are still working to better understand the molecular mechanisms behind these sensations of heat and pain. Now, investigators at the Jacobs School of ...

Researchers found that a pain receptor called TRPA1 becomes less sensitive in mosquitoes when exposed to heat, meaning that the chemical cues that typically trigger insect avoidance behaviors are ...
