Cell’s ‘Garbage Disposal’ May Have Another Role: Helping Neurons Near Skin Sense the Environment

Caption

Neuronal membrane proteasomes are labeled with a red compound and appear in a subset of sensory neurons that are labeled with green compound. Note, not all green labeled neurons have the red label, which can appear in other unique dorsal root ganglion neurons that do not label with green. Blue staining is the nuclei of cells in the culture dish.
