Sensory Schwann cells set perceptual thresholds for touch and selectively regulate mechanical nociception

This study identifies sensory Schwann cells as critical for mechanosensation, showing they regulate touch and mechanical nociception.

Lack of evidence for participation of TMEM150c/TENTONIN3 in sensory mechanotransduction.

This study investigates whether TMEM150c forms a mechanosensitive ion channel or is required for mechanosensitivity in sensory neurons, finding no evidence to support these claims.

In vitro longitudinal lumbar spinal cord preparations to study sensory and recurrent motor microcircuits of juvenile mice

This paper describes two in vitro longitudinal lumbar spinal cord preparations from juvenile mice to study sensory and motor microcircuits using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology.

USH2A is a Meissner corpuscle end-organ protein necessary for vibration sensing in mice and humans

This study shows that USH2A is essential for vibration sensing in mice and humans by being expressed in Meissner corpuscle end-organs, not in sensory neurons.

Specialized mechanoreceptor systems in rodent glabrous skin

The paper identifies specialized mechanoreceptors in rodent glabrous skin, finding higher density and unique sensitivity in forepaw compared to hind paw.
