This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.

This study found that robotic training with the Ekso-GT significantly improved body representation and quality of life in spinal cord injury patients compared to conventional physical therapy.

This study developed finite element models to examine skin's biomechanical properties, finding that structural heterogeneities like Rete ridges and hair follicles create distinct stress and strain patterns that may influence mechanosensation and skin integrity.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.
