Different Requirements for GFRα2 Signaling in Three Populations of Cutaneous Sensory Neurons

    August 2014 in “ PLoS ONE ”
    Jussi Kupari, Matti S. Airaksinen
    Studysummary This study found that GFRα2 influences cell size but not survival or target innervation of Ret-positive low-threshold mechanoreceptors in mouse dorsal root ganglia, differing from its role in nonpeptidergic nociceptors.
