- who: Federica Mangione from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the article: Co-option of epidermal cells enables touch sensing, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 18/03/2022
- what: By examining the differentiation of the tactile bristles, mechanosensory organs decorating the Drosophila adult epidermis, the authors show that neighbouring epidermal cells are essential for touch perception. The authors focused on the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway since it is required for the specification of diverse cell types during adult PNS development, including the bract cells next to a subset of bristles of the legs and wings26 . . .
