Abstract

Degenerin/epithelial sodium channels (DEG/ENaCs) are luminaries of gentle touch in Caenorhabditis elegans. In this issue of Neuron, Geffeney etal. demonstrate that eponymous DEG-1 channels carry mechanotransduction currents in a polymodal neuron, where they act upstream of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels.
