When females sense stimuli of detrimental conditions they start to produce males and switch to sexual reproduction.
Passive smart fabrics can only sense the environment, active smart fabrics sense stimuli from the environment and react to them, and finally very smart fabrics adapt their behaviour to external circumstances (Das and Chowdhury 2014, p. 2).
"Evolution has given marine organisms the ability to sense stimuli across domains tactile, electrical, acoustic, magnetic, chemical and optical," DARPA explained.
Dimeric MCPs are anchored in the inner cell membrane and sense stimuli through their periplasmic ligand-binding domains.
Biological systems sense stimuli from their environment using cell-surface receptors, and process this information to make reliable decisions, e.g. where to move, or whether to divide or to express new enzymes.
Among them, Nav1.8 is a critical VGSC isoform that is preferentially expressed in primary somatosensory afferent neurons to sense stimuli, which produces a slow-inactivating, TTX-R (tetrodotoxin-resistant) current and is responsible for action potential propagation within sensory neurons of the DRGs.
Further confirmation that our transcriptomes faithfully recapitulate known expression patterns in alpha and beta cells follows from the fact that expression of key alpha and beta cell transcription factors as well key genes involved in glucose sensing, stimulus secretion coupling and insulin exocytosis generally adheres closely to the literature [ 2– 5].
Hence "the degree of apperception is not to be measured according to the strength of the external impression [i.e. physically or physiologically], but solely according to the subjective activity through which consciousness turns to a particular sense-stimulus" (PP II: 269).
Meanwhile, the cell wall is continually influenced by hormonal and integrity sensing stimuli that are perceived by the cell.
These findings showed that Aldh1b1 tm1lacz null islets had severe defects in glucose sensing, stimulus-coupled insulin secretion or both.
Bacteria survive under various conditions by sensing stimuli triggering specific adaptive physiological responses, which are often based on membrane-integrated sensors connected to a cytoplasmic regulator.
