5 / 911 resultsresearch The cellular basis of mechanosensory Merkel-cell innervation during development
This study identified key cells and pathways needed for the development of touch receptor patterns in mouse skin, notably that certain keratinocytes are crucial for innervation patterns, while Merkel cells and BMP signaling have distinct roles.
research Three-dimensional analyses of touch domes in the hairy skin of the cat paw reveal morphological substrates for complex sensory processing
This study revealed the complex three-dimensional innervation of touch domes in cat forepaw skin, highlighting the extensive branching and unmyelinated endings associated with Merkel cell–axon complexes.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
This review explores potential new roles for Merkel cells, including involvement in magnetoreception, fingerprint formation, and transmitting environmental information, but reports no experimental results.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.
