June 1983 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study from 1983 focused on human epidermal transglutaminase, an enzyme crucial for epidermal terminal differentiation. It required calcium or strontium and a free sulfhydryl group, similar to liver transglutaminase, but unlike plasma transglutaminase, it did not need proteolytic activation. The enzyme's activity increased significantly after treatment with organic solvents, heat, and chaotropic reagents, although these treatments did not change its molecular weight or immunologic properties. The research aimed to develop monoclonal antibodies for detailed structural analysis and to explore safe methods for modulating the enzyme's function in human epidermal diseases.

February 2014 in “Neuron” The study revealed that the opioid system, particularly through delta opioid receptors (DOR), played a significant role in regulating cutaneous mechanosensation, including both touch and pain. DORs were found on myelinated mechanoreceptors associated with structures like Meissner corpuscles and Merkel cell-neurite complexes. These receptors also appeared on a subset of nociceptors coexpressing mu and delta opioid receptors. Activation of DORs at the central terminals of these mechanoreceptors inhibited synaptic input to the spinal dorsal horn by blocking voltage-gated calcium channels. This mechanism suggested that targeting DOR could be a potential strategy for managing injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.
