Great Preview by Dr. Tseng et al. on our back-to-back studies with the Patapoutian lab in Cell Metabolism! Both reveal how PIEZO2+ sensory neurons regulate fat by inhibiting sympathetic output—shedding light on adipose tissue surveillance & metabolism. www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Feeling the pressure: PIEZO2-positive sensory neurons regulate adipose function Adipose tissue adapts to metabolic challenges through multiple regulatory mechanisms, including neuronal input. Although sympathetic neuronal regulation is well established, the impact of sensory feed... https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(25)00110-X
