Making the Pain Connection
Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons include multiple types of sensory neurons with well-appreciated anatomical and physiological distinctions. In this issue of Neuron, Chen et al. adds to our molecular understanding of these differences by reporting that DRG11, a paired homeodomain transcription factor, is specifically required for the proper development of pain-sensing nociceptive neurons.
متن کاملThe Cardiorenal Syndrome: Making the Connection
The heart and the kidneys share responsibility for maintaining hemodynamic stability and end-organ perfusion. Connections between these organs ensure that subtle physiologic changes in one system are tempered by compensation in the other through a variety of pathways and mediators. In the setting of underlying heart disease or chronic kidney disease, the capacity of each organ to respond to per...
متن کاملDynein at kinetochores: Making the connection
Dynein removes the checkpoint proteins from kinetochores once chromosomes are bioriented. In this issue, Gama et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201610108) and Mosalaganti et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201611060) reveal the molecular basis for how dynein and its adaptor protein Spindly are recruited to the ROD-Zw10-Zwilch complex in the fibrous cor...
متن کاملWhite matter and cognition: making the connection.
Whereas the cerebral cortex has long been regarded by neuroscientists as the major locus of cognitive function, the white matter of the brain is increasingly recognized as equally critical for cognition. White matter comprises half of the brain, has expanded more than gray matter in evolution, and forms an indispensable component of distributed neural networks that subserve neurobehavioral oper...
متن کاملMaking the connection: retinal axon guidance in the zebrafish.
Genetic screens in zebrafish have identified a large number of mutations that affect neural connectivity in the developing visual system. These mutants define genes essential for accurate retinal axon guidance in the eye and brain and the characterization of these mutants is helping to define the cellular and molecular mechanisms that guide axons in the vertebrate embryo. The combination of zeb...
