Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Identification of Mast Cells in the Rat Lacrimal Glands

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to investigate the presence, microanatomical localization, and immunohistochemical subtypes of mast cells in the lacrimal glands (LGs) of rats. Animals A total of ten female Sprague–Dawley rats' LGs were evaluated in this study. Procedure(s) The experimental animals were euthanized. LG samples were collected and fixed

The evolution of muscle spindles

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Optogenetic methods to stimulate gamma motor neuron axons ex vivo

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It is challenging to stimulate gamma motor neurons, which are important regulators of muscle spindle afferent function, without also recruiting alpha motor neurons. Here, we test the feasibility of stimulating gamma motor neuron axons using optogenetics in two transgenic mouse lines. We used an ex vivo muscle–nerve preparation in adult mice to

The mechanotransduction protein STOML3 is required for proprioceptor plasticity following peripheral nerve regeneration

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nerve regeneration is associated with the plasticity of sensory neurons such that even muscle afferents directed to the skin form mechanosensitive receptive fields appropriate for the new target. STOML3 is an essential mechanotransduction component in many cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Here, we asked whether STOML3 is required for functional and
