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

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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

Respiratory virus infection up-regulates TRPV1, TRPA1 and ASICS3 receptors on airway cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Receptors implicated in cough hypersensitivity are transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), transient receptor potential cation channel, Subfamily A, Member 1 (TRPA1) and acid sensing ion channel receptor 3 (ASIC3).

Sensory Mechanisms in Mammalian Touch Receptor Cells [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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).

Regulation of boundary cap neural crest stem cell differentiation after transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Success of cell replacement therapies for neurological disorders will depend largely on the optimization of strategies to enhance viability and control the developmental fate of stem cells after transplantation.

Cochlear progenitor number is controlled through mesenchymal FGF receptor signaling

open access: yeseLife, 2015
The sensory and supporting cells (SCs) of the organ of Corti are derived from a limited number of progenitors. The mechanisms that regulate the number of sensory progenitors are not known.

Human Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors-X1 induce chemokine receptor 2 expression in rat dorsal root ganglia neurons and release of chemokine ligand 2 from the human LAD-2 mast cell line [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Primate-specific Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors-X1 (MRGPR-X1) are highly enriched in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons and induce acute pain. Herein, we analyzed effects of MRGPR-X1 on serum response factors (SRF) or nuclear factors of activated

Sensory nerves enhance triple-negative breast cancer invasion and metastasis via the axon guidance molecule PlexinB3

open access: yesnpj Breast Cancer, 2022
In breast cancer, nerve presence has been correlated with more invasive disease and worse prognosis, yet the mechanisms by which different types of peripheral nerves drive tumor progression remain poorly understood.
