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

BMC 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

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

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

Neuropilin 1 and 2 control cranial gangliogenesis and axon guidance through neural crest cells [PDF]

, 2008
Neuropilin (NRP) receptors and their class 3 semaphorin (SEMA3) ligands play well-established roles in axon guidance, with loss of NRP1, NRP2, SEMA3A or SEMA3F causing defasciculation and errors in growth cone guidance of peripherally projecting nerves ...

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

Biology 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 ...

Distinct requirements for TrkB and TrkC signaling in target innervation by sensory neurons [PDF]

, 2002
Signaling by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) via the TrkB receptor, or by neurotrophin-3 (NT3) through the TrkC receptor support distinct populations of sensory neurons.

Mouse embryonic stem cells as a discovery tool in neurobiology [PDF]

, 2012
Mouse ES cells can recapitulate, under suitable tissue culture conditions, early events in neurogenesis. As wildtype or genetically modified ES cells can be grown in unlimited quantities, their differentiation into neurons represents an attractive model

Sensory Mechanisms in Mammalian Touch Receptor Cells [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2011
The sense of touch is critical for hand dexterity that allows mammals to recognize and grasp objects. Different qualities of touch are encoded by sensory neurons with distinct properties. Shapes and curvature are encoded by Merkel cell-neurite complexes, which mediate slowly adapting type I (SAI) responses. Merkel cells, which cluster in fingertips and

Tachykinins stimulate a subset of mouse taste cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The tachykinins substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) are present in nociceptive sensory fibers expressing transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1).
