research ELife Assessment: Touch Receptor End-Organ Innervation and Function Require Sensory Neuron Expression of the Transcription Factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research The Functional Organization of Cutaneous Low-Threshold Mechanosensory Neurons
Different hair follicles in the skin are innervated by unique combinations of mechanosensory neurons, crucial for touch sensation.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research The Structure and Organization of Lanceolate Mechanosensory Complexes at Mouse Hair Follicles
Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.
research Embryology, Histology, and Physiology of the Hair Follicle

research Localization of the Rabies Virus Antigen in Merkel Cells in the Follicle-Sinus Complexes of Muzzle Skins of Rabid Dogs
Rabies virus was found in specific skin cells of rabid dogs' muzzles, suggesting these cells could help diagnose rabies.
research Effect of Hair Restoration Surgery on Scalp Sensitivity
Hair transplant surgery reduces scalp sensitivity by almost 40%, and smokers have less scalp sensitivity than non-smokers. The time since surgery doesn't significantly affect this.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research A Role for p75 Neurotrophin Receptor in the Control of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research GDNF Promotes Hair Formation and Cutaneous Wound Healing by Targeting Bulge Stem Cells
GDNF helps grow hair and heal skin wounds by acting on hair stem cells.
research Adaptations in the Structure and Innervation of Follicle-Sinus Complexes to an Aquatic Environment as Seen in the Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Characterization of CD4+ Stem Cells of the Skin and Their Role in Skin Homeostasis and Tumorigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research Follicle-Innervating Aδ-Low Threshold Mechanoreceptors Organize Through a Population-Dependent Mechanism
Mouse touch-sensitive nerve cells adjust their connections based on competition with other similar cells.
research Mechanical Stimulation of Human Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath Cultures Activates Adjacent Sensory Neurons
Touching hair can activate nearby nerve cells through signals from the hair's outer layer.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.
research Synaptic-Like Vesicles and Candidate Transduction Channels in Mechanosensory Terminals
SLVs help maintain muscle stretch sensitivity and could aid in treating hypertension and muscle spasticity.
research Multifunctional Merkel Cells: Their Roles in Electromagnetic Reception, Fingerprint Formation, Reiki, Epigenetic Inheritance, and Hair Form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Study on the Mechanism of Cadmium Chloride Pollution Accelerating Skin Tissue Metabolism Disorder, Aging and Inhibiting Hair Regeneration
Cadmium chloride pollution can cause skin disorders, speed up aging, and prevent hair growth.
research Scaffolds for Epithelial and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Electrospun matrices help regenerate skin and hair follicles using PCL and collagen scaffolds.
research Three-Dimensional Reconstructions of Mechanosensory End Organs Suggest a Unifying Mechanism Underlying Dynamic, Light Touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
