This study shows transcytosis of TrkA receptors in sympathetic neurons is essential for presynaptic site formation and synaptic transmission.

This study shows that light affects glucose and lipid metabolism in mice through the sympathetic nervous system, independent of circadian rhythms, and that these effects can be reversed with light exposure.

This study shows that sympathetic NPY is critical for metabolic and cardiovascular regulation in mice, affecting glucose homeostasis, cold tolerance, and heart rate.

This study shows satellite glia are essential for sympathetic neuron survival, activity, and autonomic function in mice, with implications for cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

This study identifies five distinct satellite glia populations in sympathetic and sensory ganglia using single-cell RNA sequencing, revealing functional diversity and unique transcriptional signatures.

This study identifies fatty acid synthesis in satellite glial cells as a mechanism promoting axon regeneration after nerve injury.

The paper shows that prenylation of axonally translated proteins is required for NGF-dependent axon growth in sympathetic neurons.

This study shows that sympathetic nerve activity reduces cardiomyocyte proliferation and causes binucleation, which may limit heart regeneration in adults.
