NGF-TrkA signaling in sensory nerves is required for skeletal adaptation to mechanical loads in mice [Medical Sciences]

Sensory nerves emanating from the dorsal root extensively innervate the surfaces of mammalian bone, a privileged location for the regulation of biomechanical signaling. Here, we show that NGF-TrkA signaling in skeletal sensory nerves is an early response to mechanical loading of bone and is required to achieve maximal load-induced bone...
