Great Preview by Dr. Tseng et al. on our back-to-back studies with the Patapoutian lab in Cell Metabolism! Both reveal how PIEZO2 sensory neurons regulate fat by inhibiting sympathetic outputโshedding light on adipose tissue surveillance & metabolism.

This suggests a new model: Mechanoregulation by Piezo2 in sensory neurons prevents systemic hypermetabolism and adipose tissue thermogenesis. (4/5)
