Research involving large myelin-related mechanoreceptors appears to be warranted because previous research suggests that aging affects these fibers and receptors to a greater extent than unmyelinated nerve fibers that transmit nociception. Because NGF is released from airway epithelial cells, increases the production and release of substance P and other tachykinins from adult sensory neurons, and induces sensory hyperinnervation in the airways of transgenic mice, it represents an ideal link between virus-infected respiratory epithelium and the dense subepithelial network of unmyelinated sensory fibers. The mix of unmyelinated nerve cells from embryonic mice, cells that don't produce NRG1-III, and glial cells from adult rats showed no myelination. |
