This study found that distinct low-threshold mechanoreceptors innervate different hair follicle types in mice, suggesting that these follicles serve as unique mechanosensory structures in touch perception.

This study concluded that terminal Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of mechanosensory lanceolate complexes at hair follicles in adult mice.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that human hair follicle outer root sheath cells release ATP, serotonin, and histamine in response to mechanical stimulation, which subsequently activates surrounding sensory neurons.

This study identified the TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis2 as a crucial regulator for the maturation and end-organ innervation of certain mechanoreceptors in mice, with its absence leading to altered sensory neuron structure and impaired touch sensitivity.

This study found that in mice, competition for hair follicles guides the organization of follicle-innervating LTMR neurons during early development, with different neuronal subtypes showing varying adaptive responses to increased neuron populations.
