The groundbreaking discoveries of the TRPV1, TRPM8 and Piezo channels by 2021 medicine laureates David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian have explained how heat, cold and touch can initiate signals in our nervous system. The identified ion channels are important for many physiological processes and disease conditions.
The TRP channels are central for our ability to perceive temperature. The Piezo2 channel endows us with the sense of touch and the ability to feel the position and movement of our body parts. TRP and Piezo channels also contribute to numerous additional physiological functions that depend on sensing temperature or mechanical stimuli. Intensive ongoing research originating from this year’s Nobel Prize awarded discoveries focuses on elucidating their functions in a variety of physiological processes. This knowledge is being used to develop treatments for a wide range of disease conditions, including chronic pain.

Wind's two most famous works are Pagan Mysteries of the Renaissance and Art and Anarchy.
[ edit]
Pagan Mysteries of the Renaissance
Mysteries' chief aim was to "elucidate a number of great Renaissance works of art" [4]. He maintained that "ideas forcefully expressed in art were alive in other areas of human endeavor" [1]. His thesis was that "the presence of unresolved residues of meaning is an obstacle to the enjoyment of art", [4] and he attempted to "help remove the veil of obscurity which not only distance in time...but a deliberate obliqueness in the use of metaphor has spread over some of the greatest Renaissance paintings." [4]
