MRGPRX2 as a novel therapeutic target in headache [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics
Migraine is a complex neurologic disorder with a significant global burden. Mast cells, a type of immune cell residing in the meninges and in close contact with dural afferent neurons, have been proposed to play an important role in the pathophysiology ...

Structural organization of the olfactory epithelium of a spotted snakehead fish, Channa punctatus [PDF]

open access: yesActa Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2005
Background. Enormous diversities exist regarding shape, number, and arrangement of the olfactory lamellae, distribution of the sensory and non-sensory epithelium as well as the abundance of various receptor cells among different teleosts.

Transient receptor potential channel polymorphisms are associated with the somatosensory function in neuropathic pain patients. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Transient receptor potential channels are important mediators of thermal and mechanical stimuli and play an important role in neuropathic pain. The contribution of hereditary variants in the genes of transient receptor potential channels to neuropathic ...

Olfactory and solitary chemosensory cells: two different chemosensory systems in the nasal cavity of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background The nasal cavity of all vertebrates houses multiple chemosensors, either innervated by the Ist (olfactory) or the Vth (trigeminal) cranial nerve. Various types of receptor cells are present, either segregated in different compartments (e.g. in

The oral sensory organs in Bathochordaeus stygius (Tunicata Appendicularia) are unique in structure and homologous to the coronal organ

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2023
Background Appendicularia consists of approximately 70 purely marine species that belong to Tunicata the probable sister taxon to Craniota. Therefore, Appendicularia plays a pivotal role for our understanding of chordate evolution.

Carcinogenesis and Metastasis: Focus on TRPV1-Positive Neurons and Immune Cells

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Both sensory neurons and immune cells, albeit at markedly different levels, express the vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor, Transient Receptor Potential, Vanilloid-1 (TRPV1).

Intrinsic frequency response patterns in mechano-sensory neurons of the leech

open access: yesBiology Open, 2017
Animals employ mechano-sensory systems to detect and explore their environment. Mechano-sensation encompasses stimuli such as constant pressure, surface movement or vibrations at various intensities that need to be segregated in the central nervous ...

L-Amino Acids Elicit Diverse Response Patterns in Taste Sensory Cells: A Role for Multiple Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Umami, the fifth basic taste, is elicited by the L-amino acid, glutamate. A unique characteristic of umami taste is the response potentiation by 5' ribonucleotide monophosphates, which are also capable of eliciting an umami taste.
