The paper builds harmonized cross-species cell atlases of DRG and TG, identifies 29 cell types across 6 species, and shows transcriptomic similarities and differences in sensory neurons.

This paper develops a novel cationic compound, BW-031, that effectively inhibits cough by targeting large pore-expressing airway sensory neurons through aerosolized delivery.

The paper shows that peripheral sensory neurons undergo consistent transcriptional changes after axonal injury, which promote regeneration but also suppress cell identity, with Atf3 playing a key role.
