Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
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 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 Decision Letter: Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells Define a Niche for Tactile Sensation
Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.
research Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells Define a Niche for Tactile Sensation
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
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 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 KCNQ Potassium Channels Modulate Sensitivity of Skin Down-Hair (D-Hair) Mechanoreceptors
KCNQ potassium channels help control the sensitivity of touch receptors in the skin.
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 Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Comment on Scalp Neuropathy in Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.
research Atypical Hippocampal Glutamate Receptor Coupled to Phospholipase D Controlling Stretch-Sensitivity in Primary Mechanosensory Nerve Endings Is Homomeric Purely Metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
research Responses of Hair Follicle–Associated Structures to Loss of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
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 Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Multi-Tasking Epidermal Stem Cells: Beyond Epidermal Maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
research Hair Graying Regulators Beyond Hair Follicle
Hair graying is influenced by factors like nerves, fat cells, and immune cells, not just hair follicles.
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 Intragenic Deletion in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlies the Skin Phenotype in the Iffa Credo Hairless Rat
A gene deletion causes the "hairless" trait in Iffa Credo rats.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-Like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research A Review on Tectona Grandis
Teak is a durable, termite-resistant wood with medicinal benefits.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: An Update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Prunus Mira Koehne in Sichuan, China: Recorded History as a Medicine and Food, Modern Applications, Distribution, and Ethnobotanical Investigations
Prunus mira Koehne is valuable for hair growth and has potential for sustainable use, but needs more research and conservation.
research Mapping the Molecular and Structural Specialization of the Skin Basement Membrane for Inter-Tissue Interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.
research Pilose Antler Extracts Promote Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia Mice by Activating Hair Follicle Stem Cells via the AKT and Wnt Pathways
