New preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

BOOM! Cool to see the final form of this great work now published. Deep new insight into human peripheral neuropathy. Congrats @mheming.bsky.social and colleagues on a great study.

In our latest pre-print, we show that processivity and BDNF-dependent modulation of #AxonalTransport are impaired in aged mice: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Well done team! @dvillarroelc.bsky.social @andrewtosolini.bsky.social @alessiovagnoni.bsky.social et al. @uclqsion.bsky.social #aging

So exciting to see our newest paper on muscle-nerve crosstalk featured in this @cellpress.bsky.social Device perspective - thanks to Claudia Loebel and team for highlighting our work! 💪🏽 www.cell.com/device/abstr...

👏 to Tetsuo Hasegawa & others of Clatworthy lab & beyond for this amazing analysis of macrophage-nociceptor interactions within the joint: the blood-joint barrier, "equipped to sense circulating stimuli & telegraph their presence via pain" #neuroskyence #PainResearch www.nature.com/articles/s41...
