Thermoregulation is the biological mechanism responsible for maintaining a steady internal body temperature. The three mechanisms of thermoregulation are efferent responses, afferent sensing, and ...

The rate of admission hypothermia in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was above the rate of comparable NICUs in the Vermont Oxford Network. To reduce the rate of preterm admission hypothermia, ...

The UCSF team began their study by searching for molecular markers of WSNs. After placing mice in a warm environment (36° C), the researchers took advantage of ribosomal changes in neurons after ...

A plummeting body temperature usually means an accident. It conjures dire images of people falling into a frozen pond or wandering about in a blizzard. But for some mice—or rather the scientists who ...
