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.

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

This study found that upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles are specialized for nerve interactions, crucial for forming tactile sensory units, and influence touch responses via EGFL6 and αv integrin pathways.

This article discusses recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of tactile end organs in the epidermis and hair follicles from studies of mouse hairy skin, but it reports no new clinical results.

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.
