Sci Adv
. 2025 Jan;
11(5):eabc5219.
PMID: 39888990
Proprioceptors are primary mechanosensory neurons to monitor the status of muscle contraction and/or body position (). Although proprioceptors are known as non-nociceptive mechanoreceptors, they also express the pro-nociceptive acid-sensing ion...

PMID: 39496523
Muscle spindles are stretch-sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four-limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of...

. 2023 Sep;
109(1):81-99.
PMID: 37656490
A metabotropic glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase D (PLD-mGluR) was discovered in the hippocampus over three decades ago. Its pharmacology and direct linkage to PLD activation are well established and...

PMID: 37273905
Introduction: The ultimate deficit in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is neuromuscular junction (NMJ) loss, producing permanent paralysis, ultimately in respiratory muscles. However, understanding the functional and structural deficits at NMJs...

Exp Physiol
. 2023 Mar;
109(1):55-65.
PMID: 36966478
Muscle spindles encode mechanosensory information by mechanisms that remain only partially understood. Their complexity is expressed in mounting evidence of various molecular mechanisms that play essential roles in muscle mechanics,...

Sci Rep
. 2023 Feb;
13(1):2830.
PMID: 36806712
Across the human body, skeletal muscles have a broad range of biomechanical roles that employ complex proprioceptive control strategies to successfully execute a desired movement. This information is derived from...
