Activity-dependent development of the body's touch receptors

Celine Santiago, Julianna Siegrist, Nusrat Africawala, Annie Handler, Aniqa Tasnim, Rabia Anjum, Josef Turecek, Brendan P. Lehnert, Sophia Renauld, Jinheon Choi, Michael Nolan-Tamariz, Michael Iskols, Alexandra R. Magee, Suzanne Paradis, Nikhil Sharma, David D. Ginty

This study shows that neuronal activity is essential for the development of touch receptors, as genetic disruption of Piezo2 and Nav1.6 leads to structural and functional defects in mechanosensory neurons.

Three-dimensional reconstructions of mechanosensory end organs suggest a unifying mechanism underlying dynamic, light touch

Annie Handler, Qiyu Zhang, Song Pang, Tri Nguyen, Michael Iskols, Michael Nolan-Tamariz, Stuart Cattel, Rebecca Plumb, Brianna Sanchez, Karyl Ashjian, Aria Shotland, Bartianna Brown, Madiha Kabeer, Josef Turecek, Michelle M. DeLisle, , David D. Ginty

This study uses 3D reconstructions of mechanosensory end organs to propose a unified mechanism for Aβ RA-LTMR activation through axon protrusions and Piezo2 distribution.
