Mechanical force is an essential physical element that contributes to the formation and
function of life. The discovery of the evolutionarily conserved PIEZO family, including PIEZO1 …

Visceral sensory pathways mediate homeostatic reflexes, the dysfunction of which leads to
many neurological disorders. The Bezold–Jarisch reflex (BJR), first described, in 1867, is a …

Across mammalian skin, structurally complex and diverse mechanosensory end organs
respond to mechanical stimuli and enable our perception of dynamic, light touch. How forces …

Juvenile rodents and other altricial mammals react with calming, immobility, and postural
modifications to parental pickup, a set of behaviors referred to as the transport response. 1 …

Background The cutaneous end organ complexes or cutaneous sensory corpuscles are
specialized sensory organs associated to low-threshold mechanoreceptors. Mechano-gated …

Hearing sound and responding to external and internal mechanical stimuli requires specific
proteins as mechanotransducers that convert mechanical forces into biological signals …

(1) Background: Osteopathy in the cranial field (OCF) is a distinctive approach within
osteopathy, focusing on the cranial region's manual manipulation. Nevertheless, OCF …

Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) have been widely accepted as a promising strategy for
peripheral nerve regeneration. Fabricating ideal NGCs with good biocompatibility …

The clinical severity of sickle cell disease (SCD) is strongly influenced by the level of fetal
haemoglobin (HbF) persistent in each patient. Three major HbF loci (BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB …

Cold allodynia is a debilitating symptom of orofacial neuropathic pain resulting from
trigeminal nerve damage. The molecular and neural bases of this sensory alteration are still …
