Ancient Somatosensory Circuit Architectures Employ Flexible Molecular Strategies

Hyemin Lee, Paul W. Frazel, Elena Singer-Freeman, Anne E. Cavanagh, Hanshin D Shin, Kalina Rice, Shanmugapriya Selvaraj, Mark Alu, Heebal Kim, Cynthia Loomis, Shane Antony Liddelow, Myungin Bæk, Jeremy S. Dasen

This study shows that while spinal somatosensory circuit organization is conserved in skates, molecular programs specifying sensory neuron subtypes are distinct from mammals.

Cardiomyocyte-specific plakophilin-2 loss is sufficient to induce aging and senescence of nonmyocytes. Relevance to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

Giorgia Bertoli, Kavya Phadke, Alessandro Cospito, Joanna Abi Rizk, Mingliang Zhang, Eleni Miliotou, Michael Cammer, Yan Deng, Valeria Mezzano, Mark Alu, Gyles Ward, Cynthia A. Loomis, Adriana Heguy, Feng‐Xia Liang, Eric M. Small, , Mario Delmar

This study shows that loss of PKP2 in cardiomyocytes induces pro-inflammatory senescence in non-myocytes and premature cardiac aging, linking desmosomal arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy to cellular senescence and aging mechanisms.
