Mechanisms of mechanotransduction by dorsal root ganglia neurons

The molecular mechanisms that mediate mammalian sensory mechanotransduction are poorly understood. Detection of mechanical events by sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) is the primary event in the senses of touch, pressure-induced pain and proprioception. Recent work has demonstrated th...
