The discovery of distinct 'sneeze neurons' and 'cough neurons' in mice opens up potential new treatments for allergies and chronic coughs, addressing frustrating existing side effects.
While specific ion channels were targeted, BAM 8-22 was revealed to activate sneeze response through MrgprC11, proving critical in isolating sneeze-inducing neurons from cough ones.
The differentiation of sneeze and cough neurons suggests not just a biological novelty but also a possible pathway for more effective therapies against respiratory conditions.
