David Jay Julius (born November 4, 1955) is an American physiologist and Nobel Prize laureate known for his work on molecular mechanisms of pain sensation and heat, including the characterization of the TRPV1 and TRPM8 receptors that detect capsaicin, menthol, and temperature.
Oct 4, 2021 · David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian are awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch. They used capsaicin, menthol, and pressure to identify novel ion channels that convert stimuli into electrical signals in the nervous system.
David Julius is a US scientist who discovered the receptor for temperature and touch sensation. He used capsaicin, a compound from chili peppers, to identify the gene that encodes the heat-sensing receptor on neurons.
May 10, 2024 · David Julius, American physiologist who discovered heat- and cold-sensing receptors in the nerve endings of the skin. His elucidation of a receptor known as TRPV1 gave new insight into how the human nervous system senses heat, cold, and pain.
