Mapping Somatosensory Afferent Circuitry to Bone Identifies Neurotrophic Signals Required for Fracture Healing

Mingxin Xu, Zhao Bo Li, Neelima Thottappillil…·Aaron Watkins James

The paper identifies neurotrophic signals, particularly FGF9, required for fracture healing by mapping somatosensory afferent circuitry to bone and analyzing gene expression changes in DRG neurons.

TrkA+ sensory neurons regulate osteosarcoma proliferation and vascularization to promote disease progression

Sowmya Ramesh, Qizhi Qin, Zhao Li…·Aaron Watkins James

This study shows that TrkA+ sensory neurons promote osteosarcoma progression by enhancing tumor growth, vascularization, and metastasis, and that inhibiting these neurons reduces disease severity and improves survival.
