HIF-2a is essential for carotid body development and function
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2018-04-19)
Mammalian adaptation to oxygen flux occurs at many levels, from shifts in cellular metabolism to physiological adaptations facilitated by the sympathetic nervous system and carotid body (CB). Interactions between differing ...

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 ...

The carotid body: a physiologically relevant germinal niche in the adult peripheral nervous system
(Springer, 2018-11-29)
Oxygen constitutes a vital element for the survival of every single cell in multicellular aerobic organisms like mammals. A complex homeostatic oxygen-sensing system has evolved in these organisms, including detectors and ...

Glucose sensing by carotid body glomus cells: potential implications in disease
(Frontiers Media, 2014-10-15)
The carotid body (CB) is a key chemoreceptor organ in which glomus cells sense changes in blood O2, CO2, and pH levels. CB glomus cells have also been found to detect hypoglycemia in both non-primate mammals and humans. ...

Carotid body function in tyrosine hydroxylase conditional Olfr78 knockout mice
(Oxford University Press, 2024-02-22)
The Olfr78 gene encodes a G-protein-coupled olfactory receptor that is expressed in several ectopic sites. Olfr78 is one of the most abundant mRNA species in carotid body (CB) glomus cells. These cells are the prototypical ...

Rearrangement of cell types in the rat carotid body neurogenic niche induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia
(Wiley, 2023-01-17)
The carotid body (CB) is a prototypical acute oxygen (O2)-sensing organ that mediates reflex hyperventilation and increased cardiac output in response to hypoxaemia. CB overactivation, secondary to the repeated stimulation ...

Aquaporin-1 plays important role in proliferation by affecting cell cycle progression
(Wiley, 2016-06-16)
Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) has been associated with tumor development. Here, we investigated how AQP1 may affect cell proliferation. The proliferative rate of adult carotid body (CB) cells, known to proliferate under chronic ...
