December 2010 in “Journal of Morphology” In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.
This study found that somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, influenced by epithelial and neural factors, indicating a complex interaction in maintaining homeostasis.
This study in adult mice found that somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in the skin are highly plastic, with significant remodeling in response to epithelial turnover, and that Merkel cells play a role in limiting axonal branching and promoting their maturation.
In this study, researchers observed a high degree of plasticity in somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin, revealing that both epithelial-neural crosstalk and intrinsic neural mechanisms contribute to axonal patterning and remodeling during epithelial homeostasis.
This study observed that Merkel cells and their associated somatosensory axons in mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, remodeling dynamically to maintain homeostasis. Axonal branching patterns were notably influenced by Merkel cells, suggesting epithelial-neural interactions play a key role in axonal plasticity and patterning.
In this study, highly dynamic remodeling was observed in mouse somatosensory axons and Merkel cells, indicating that epithelial-neural interactions help maintain homeostatic remodeling, with additional intrinsic neural mechanisms contributing to axonal plasticity.
