Single human fingertip mechanoreceptive afferents simultaneously encode multidimensional aspects of touch

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mechanoreceptors in the fingertip skin allow us to explore objects and to feel a vast range of textures. We recorded responses from individual low‐threshold mechanoreceptive afferents in humans while dynamic stimuli were swept across their receptive fields, systematically varying force, velocity and spatial period.

Coordinated regulation of PIEZO2 by alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking and protein partners

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Regulatory mechanisms such as alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking, and protein interactions control channel gating, membrane abundance, and overall activity of PIEZO2. Proper regulation supports PIEZO2‐dependent proprioceptive, somatosensory, nociceptive, pruriceptive and interoceptive ...

Hypoxia‐induced vulnerability of the somatosensory nervous system

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sensory neurons are highly energy dependent and rely on sufficient oxygen availability to maintain metabolic stability and effective neurocommunication. Within the somatosensory system, even modest reductions in tissue oxygen tension impair neuronal respiration, forcing a shift toward less efficient metabolic pathways that ...

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Diving into the unknown: Evidence of enhanced skeletal muscle lactate efflux potential and blood–muscle exchange in competitive breath‐hold divers

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Competitive breath‐hold divers exhibit skeletal muscle characteristics indicative of enhanced blood‐muscle exchange capacity and increased lactate efflux potential. Top left: Participant characteristics, matched for age, height, body mass, and maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max${\dot{\mathrm{V}}}\rm{O}_{\rm{2max}}$).
