This study shows that heartbeat sound activates PIEZO channels in astrocytes, promoting extracellular matrix synthesis and neural differentiation in human brain organoids.

This study reveals that the inner core of Pacinian corpuscles, not the outer core, mediates rapid adaptation and frequency tuning in touch detection.

This study reveals the 3D architecture of avian Meissner corpuscles and identifies a bi-cellular mechanism where lamellar cells release neurotransmitters to trigger action potentials in afferents for touch detection.
