Piezo1 in intestinal smooth muscle cells: Emerging perspectives

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Loss of Piezo1 in SMCs results in delayed gut transit, impaired small bowel contractility, and tissue alterations. But more critically, Piezo1 is shown to be intracellularly localized, highlighting important implications given the phenotype. Adapted from Bautista, G.M. et al.

Massive reduction of RyR1 in muscle spindles of mice carrying recessive Ryr1 mutations alters proprioception and causes scoliosis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Intrafusal muscles contained within muscle spindles are endowed with ryanodie receptor 1 (RyR1) calcium channels and participate in proprioceptor function. Mutations in RyR1 linked to severe RYR1‐congenital myopathies affect calcium release from both extrafusal as well as intrafusal muscles.

Prediabetic cardiomyopathy is attenuated by hypothalamic PVN oxytocin neuron activation

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A long‐term high‐fat, high‐fructose diet induces prediabetes with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinaemia, elevated triglycerides and metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in male rats. Animals developed prediabetic cardiomyopathy characterized by diastolic dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis and tachycardia ...

Dual cholinergic and serotonergic excitatory pathways mediate oxygen sensing in the zebrafish gill

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The present study identified two sub‐populations of gill oxygen sensing neuroepithelial cells (NECs) distinguishable by their stored neurotransmitters – serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine, 5‐HT) or acetylcholine (ACh). Using transgenic Tg(elavl3:GCaMP6s) zebrafish, which express an endogenous calcium reporter in neurons, we ...

Intrinsic mechanisms contributing to the biophysical signature of mouse gamma motoneurons

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this study, we identify key intrinsic properties underlying the distinct biophysical signature of gamma motoneurons (blue): a motoneuron subtype that innervates intrafusal muscle fibres (orange) to adjust spindle afferent (black) sensitivity for detecting muscle length changes during movement.
