Humidity sensation requires both mechanosensory and thermosensory pathways in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

19 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

All terrestrial animals must find a proper level of moisture to ensure their health and survival. The cellular-molecular basis for sensing humidity is unknown in most animals, however. We used the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to uncover a mechanism for sensing humidity. We found that whereas C. elegans showed no obvious preference for humidity levels under standard culture conditions, worms displayed a...
