An atlas of the nasal mucosa in mice describes three #TuftCell populations, two of which were previously annotated differently and a third which had not yet been defined. @BrighamWomens @BankovaLora

Happy to share a new paper out this week in @SciImmunology, work done together with @BankovaLora and lab at @BWHAllergy. The nasal mucosa sits right at the top of the airstream, a perfect place for specialized sensory cells to sample it. https://t.co/PtxhS5J1Ea

In 2020, right before shutdown, we (with @haber_lab_hsph) set out to understand the function of the olfactory TRPM5+microvillous cells. Like their relatives, the #TuftCells, they line the airway lumen and detect allergens. But their morphology, receptors and function in directing olfactory responses are quite distinct. @SciImmunology @AlexanderPerni @EvelynAvilesF

TRPM5+ microvillous cells in the olfactory neuroepithelium are tuft cells that regulate olfactory stem cell proliferation @BankovaLora @SciImmunology @AlexanderPerni et al
