The carotid body, a neurogenic niche in the adult peripheral nervous system
(Univ pisa, 2010)
We have described a new population of adult neural stem cells residing in the carotid body, a chemoreceptor organ in the peripheral nervous system. These progenitor cells support neurogenesis in vivo in response to ...

Neurotransmitter Modulation of Carotid Body Germinal Niche
(MDPI AG, 2020-11-03)
The carotid body (CB), a neural-crest-derived organ and the main arterial chemoreceptor in mammals, is composed of clusters of cells called glomeruli. Each glomerulus contains neuron-like, O2-sensing glomus cells, which ...

Molecular mechanisms of acute oxygen sensing by arterial chemoreceptor cells. Role of Hif2α
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2020)
Carotid body glomus cells are multimodal arterial chemoreceptors able to sense and integrate changes in several physical and chemical parameters in the blood. These cells are also essential for O2 homeostasis. Glomus ...
