    Studysummary In this study, researchers observed that mechanosensory neurons initially develop similar morphologies across different skin regions but diverge post-natally, adapting to the type of skin they innervate, with bone morphogenetic protein signaling crucial for forming Meissner corpuscles in glabrous skin.
