Influence of gap junctions upon Ca2+ propagation from stimulated keratinocytes to DRG neurons

Epidermal cells, such as keratinocytes, are regarded as the first sensory cells to transmit nociception and mechanoreception to free nerve endings extended from the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Previous studies suggested that this transmission occurs as Ca2+ propagation via ATP receptors. Conversely,...
