| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed fluorescent thermosensor sheets for non-invasive temperature mapping at single-cell level. Thermo-sensitive fluorescent dyes were spin-coated on a culture dish. The fluorescence intensity responded to changes in temperature. Human cells (HeLa, HEK293), rat neonatal cardiomyocytes, or rat hippocampal neurons were cultured on the fluorescent thermosensor sheets. By using the thermosensor sheets, we found novel temperature-sensing systems in living cells: Ca2+ burst in WI-38 cells induced by a microscopic heat pulse, neurite outgrowth triggered by microheating, and hyperthermal sarcomeric oscillations (HSOs）in cardiomyocytes.
