Transduction and adaptation in sensory receptor cells [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1995 Sensory transduction shares common features in widely different sensory modalities. The purpose of this article is to examine the similarities and differences in the underlying mechanisms of transduction in the sensory receptor cells for vision, olfaction, and hearing.

Regulated Reprogramming in the Regeneration of Sensory Receptor Cells [PDF]
Neuron, 2011 Vision, olfaction, hearing, and balance are mediated by receptors that reside in specialized sensory epithelial organs. Age-related degeneration of the photoreceptors in the retina and the hair cells in the cochlea, caused by macular degeneration and sensorineural hearing loss, respectively, affect a growing number of individuals.

Actin filaments in sensory hairs of inner ear receptor cells. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1977 Receptor cells in the ear are excited through the bending of sensory hairs which project in a bundle from their surface. The individual stereocilia of a bundle contain filaments about 5 nm in diameter. The identity of these filaments has been investigated in the crista ampullaris of the frog and guinea pig by a technique of decoration with subfragment ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 The intimate interaction between mast cells and sensory nerves can be illustrated by the wheal and surrounding flare in an urticarial reaction in human skin. This reaction is typically associated with an intense itch at the reaction site. Upon activation,

Supporting cells remove and replace sensory receptor hair cells in a balance organ of adult mice
eLife, 2017 Vestibular hair cells in the inner ear encode head movements and mediate the sense of balance. These cells undergo cell death and replacement (turnover) throughout life in non-mammalian vertebrates. However, there is no definitive evidence that this process occurs in mammals.

NKG2D receptor ligands are cell surface biomarkers for injured murine and human nociceptive sensory neurons [PDF]
Journal of NeuroinflammationNociceptors are primary afferent neurons that sense noxious stimuli. They can be activated by tissue injury as well as the accompanying local immune response.

GPCR-Mediated Cell Intelligence: A Potential Mechanism for Survival and Long-Term Health [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyThe concept of individual cellular intelligence reframes cells as dynamic entities endowed with sensory, reactive, adaptive, and memory-like capabilities, enabling them to navigate lifelong metabolic and extrinsic stressors.

The odontoblast as a sensory receptor cell? The expression of TRPV1 (VR-1) channels
Archives of Histology and Cytology, 2005 Previous reports have shown the expression of several mechanosensitive ionic channels on the plasma membrane in odontoblasts, which are the cells responsible for dentin formation. The membrane characteristics of odontoblasts imply that they could play critical roles in the mechano-transduction of fluid displacement within dentinal tubules into the ...

Single-array measurements reveal non-uniform, mosaic-like chemosensory arrays in bacteria [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMotile bacteria use supramolecular arrays to detect effector gradients in their environment. In Escherichia coli, thousands of chemoreceptor molecules with diverse sensory properties cooperatively modulate the kinase activity of these arrays and, via ...
