(Submitter supplied) Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying mammalian touch transduction. To identify novel candidate transducers, we examined the molecular and cellular basis of touch in one of the most sensitive tactile organs in the animal kingdom, the star of the star-nosed mole. Our findings demonstrate that the trigeminal ganglia innervating the star are enriched in tactile-sensitive neurons, resulting in a higher proportion of light touch fibers and lower proportion of nociceptors compared to the dorsal root ganglia innervating the rest of the body. more...

(Submitter supplied) A major challenge in biology is to link cellular and molecular variations with behavioral phenotypes. Here, we approached this by studying somatosensory neurons from a panel of bird species from the family Anatidae, known for their tactile-based foraging behavior. We found that tactile specialists exhibit a proportional expansion of neuronal mechanoreceptors in trigeminal ganglia. The expansion of mechanoreceptors occurs via neurons with intermediately and slowly inactivating mechano-current. more...

(Submitter supplied) While the inflammatory immune response of the lung to allergens and pathogens has been extensively studied, little is known about how sensory nerves change in response to an inflammatory insult within the organ they innervate. In our study we describe the collection of vagal sensory neurons innervating the mouse lung, labelled with a retrograde fluorescent tracer instilled into the airways, and the analysis of their transcriptomes by RNAseq. more...
