Linoleic acid improves PIEZO2 dysfunction in a mouse model of Angelman Syndrome
Abstract
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurogenetic disorder. Here, the authors found that PIEZO2 activity is reduced in sensory neurons from a mouse model of AS and used a linoleic acid-enriched diet to enhance PIEZO2 function and ameliorate AS-associated gait deficits.
