Sensory Schwann cells set perceptual thresholds for touch and selectively regulate mechanical nociception
Abstract Previous work identified nociceptive Schwann cells that can initiate pain. Consistent with the existence of inherently mechanosensitive sensory Schwann cells, we found that in mice, the mechanosensory function of almost all nociceptors, including those signaling fast pain, were dependent on...
