| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project concerns two subgroups, ‘temperature sensing’ and ‘temperature-responding systems’, and sought to integrate our understanding of temperature-dependent biological phenomena with the development of techniques that detect and regulate local temperatures in cells and organs. In this project we clarified: 1) How temperature-sensing mechanisms in the plasma membrane and in cells work together to allow precise temperature detection; 2) How temperature is sensed and integrated in temperature-dependent physiological responses that include regulation of body temperature, metabolism, circadian clock and animal behavior; and 3) What are the mechanisms and physiological functions of spatiotemporal non-homogeneity of temperature distribution and detection. A general team organized directed research group activities to facilitate the fruitful collaboration and made effective outreach activities for the people who are normally not involved in science.
