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

The 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 ...

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

The 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 ...

A controlled experiment on yarn hairiness and fabric pilling

, 2007
This study focused on the hairiness of worsted wool yarns and how it affects the pilling propensity of knitted wool fabrics. Conventional worsted ring spun yarns were compared with comparable SolospunTM yarns and yarns modified with a hairiness reducing ...

Synchrony within Aβ mechanoreceptor subtypes governs signal propagation to primary somatosensory cortex

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We used an optogenetic gain‐of‐function manipulation to investigate how sensory signals from two subtypes of Aβ low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) contribute to the cortical representation of touch. CatCh, a sensitive and fast channelrhodopsin variant, enables pulsed‐light generation of high‐frequency action potential trains ...

The influence of force on the encoding and perception of affective touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend By combining perceptual experiments with neuronal recordings, we obtained ratings of perceived pleasantness and intensity during stroking touch applied at different velocities and forces and we recorded the single‐unit activity from seven C‐low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (C‐LTMRs) during similar tactile stimulation. We found that

Peripheral regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors is limited despite activation of regenerative transcriptional pathways

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ‐LTMRs), sensory neurons responsible for discriminative touch, has not previously been explored. Here, we took advantage of the selective expression of Calb1 in Aβ‐LTMRs to generate two genetic mouse models for studying their regenerative response after nerve injury.
