Piezo1 and Piezo2 channels in retinal ganglion cells and the impact of Piezo1 stimulation on light-dependent neural activity

This paper shows that Piezo1 and Piezo2 channels are expressed in retinal ganglion cells and that their activation increases light-dependent neural activity and excitability, potentially linking to glaucoma progression.

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells stop sensory axons regenerating into the spinal cord

The paper identifies oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) as the cells that stop sensory axons from regenerating into the spinal cord by forming synapses with them.
