🚨New preprint! ❄️🧊 How does TRPM8 sense cold/menthol? We combine cryoEM and HDX-MS to uncover the hidden dynamics that drive cold activation. A great case where thermodynamics + structures together uncover conformational landscape & function. https://t.co/q2ChyI4Bqg

Thermosensitive TRP ion channels enable somatosensory nerve fibers to detect changes in our thermal environment over a wide physiologic range [1][1]-[3][2]. In mammals, the menthol receptor, TRPM8,...

Genetically engineered mice survive with only autocrine but no paracrine TGF-β1 signaling. Structural and functional studies reveal a mechanism for TGF-β1 autocrine signaling driven by conformational...
