In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.

This study experimentally validated Lockhart's viscoplastic framework for tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs by demonstrating alignment with observed growth rates and estimating yield turgor pressure and cell wall viscosity, offering a methodology adaptable to other species and conditions.

In this study, researchers explored various aspects of the TRPV3 ion channel, including its novel mechanosensitivity to shear stress, and identified novel agonists while investigating how repeated stimulation affects TRPV3 activity, but found no evidence of GPCRs sensitizing the channel.

Wnt signaling helps regenerate hair follicles in wounds by reducing skin cell sensitivity to mechanical stress.

This study found that human C-tactile afferents respond to hair deflection, suggesting a functionally relevant anatomical relationship to hair follicles similar to that observed in mice.
