This study identified the TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis2 as a crucial regulator for the maturation and end-organ innervation of certain mechanoreceptors in mice, with its absence leading to altered sensory neuron structure and impaired touch sensitivity.
This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 is crucial for the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons responsible for light touch in mice, with its absence leading to reduced touch sensitivity.
