This study identifies myelinated high threshold-mechanonociceptors as the neural basis for tooth cold sensitivity and shows their role in hypersensitivity during pulpitis.

This study identifies Trpv1+ sensory neurons as critical for salivary gland structure and saliva secretion, showing their role in pain and function.

This study identifies sensory fiber types in mouse TMJ tissues using immunohistochemistry, finding peptidergic fibers dominate with minimal non-peptidergic nociceptors.

The paper introduces KneEZ Clear, an aqueous-based tissue clearing method for musculoskeletal tissues that preserves fluorescence and avoids equipment requirements.

This study identifies intradental high-threshold mechano-nociceptors that detect tooth damage, produce pain, and trigger protective reflexes.
