Scientists Discover Why We Know When to Stop Scratching an Itch BETHESDA, MD – When you scratch an itch, something tells your brain when to stop. That moment of relief, when scratching feels “enough,” is not accidental. Scientists have now identified a key…

These insights show how structural mechanics & neural encoding enable agile flight and inspire advances for robotics and sensory systems. #Mechanosensation #Neuroscience

Documenting this for the imposter in me: 2nd place award at the 31st Annual Cooley Neuroscience Poster Session. Grateful for all the support, encouragement, and great discussions! #Aging #bladder #mechanosensation 🧠⚙️🚽

… and we are very happy that our study on extrinsic control of melanocyte functions is published - kudos to @caroleluthold.bsky.social & co-authors! We found that distinct #ECM components impinge on #MITF, #melanocyte differentiation & #mechanosensation. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1038/s443...

Sandra Iden @sandraiden.bsky.social @idenlab.bsky.social @uni-saarland.de @pharmascihub.bsky.social and co-workers show that #melanocyte #differentiation and #mechanosensation are differentially modulated by distinct extracellular matrix proteins. #ECM #MITF

Enteric neuronal Piezo1 maintains mechanical and immunological homeostasis by sensing force Expression and functional analysis define how Piezo1-dependent cholinergic responses by enteric neurons directly sense luminal pressure to orchestrate digestion and inflammation in mice.

Awesome new paper from the Hu and Jackson labs! Piezo1 in enteric neurons controls motility, exercise response, and inflammation 🚴‍♂️🧠🦠💡#GutBrainAxis #Mechanosensation #Neurogastroenterology

🔬 How do we sense touch and sound? Our latest Nature Neuroscience study explores the NOMPC ion channel and finds that a hinge-like linker may be key to initiating mechanosensation—more elastic than expected! 🧐

#Neuroscience #Mechanosensation #IonChannels

From sensing touch to regulating blood pressure, mechanosensitive ion channels are vital players in mechanotransduction.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: PIEZO (touch/pain), MET (hearing), OSCA (stress), K2P (stretch/temp), NOMPC (invertebrates).
