USH2A is a skin end-organ protein necessary for vibration sensing in mice and humans

2020-07-02

Abstract excerpt

Fingertip mechanoreceptors comprise sensory neuron endings together with specialized skin cells that form the end-organ. Exquisitely sensitive vibration-sensing neurons are associated with Meissner’s corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles 1 . Such end-organ structures have been recognized for more than 160 years, but their exact functions have remained a matter of speculation. Here we examined the role of USH2A in to...
