The paper identifies A{delta}-HTMRs as fast-conducting mechanonociceptors that drive protective pain responses through unique spinal reflex circuits.

This study identifies an ancient sensory receptor family in choanoflagellates that detects bacterial prey, revealing ancestral features of animal sensation before multicellularity.

This study shows that reducing Letm1 increases mitochondrial Ca2+ retention, overactivates metabolism, and enhances long-term memory in flies and mice.

This paper introduces a multicopy MetRS* mouse line to enhance cell type-specific in vivo protein labeling, enabling sensitive detection of newly synthesized proteins in sparse cell populations.
