A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.

A compound named ZCZ90 can increase muscle spindle firing, potentially helping treat muscle spasms and hypertension.

SLVs help maintain muscle stretch sensitivity and could aid in treating hypertension and muscle spasticity.

Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.

Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.

Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.

Merkel cells stabilize nerve endings in the skin, and they change independently of each other.

Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.

Touching hair can activate nearby nerve cells through signals from the hair's outer layer.

Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.

The nervous system helps control stem cell behavior and immune responses, affecting tissue repair and maintenance.

Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.

Sensory neuron and Merkel cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.

Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.

Mouse touch-sensitive nerve cells adjust their connections based on competition with other similar cells.

Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.

The skin's dermal layer contains true stem cells with diverse functions and interactions that need more research to fully understand.

BMP signaling is essential for the development of touch domes.
