This study found that overexpression of neurotrophin 4 in mouse skin increased hair follicle and Meissner corpuscle innervation without altering sensory neuron numbers, differing from brain-derived neurotrophic factor by not affecting Merkel cell numbers.

In this study, researchers observed that mechanosensory neurons initially develop similar morphologies across different skin regions but diverge post-natally, adapting to the type of skin they innervate, with bone morphogenetic protein signaling crucial for forming Meissner corpuscles in glabrous skin.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This histological study of Millivora Capenesis skin describes the composition of the dermis, featuring distinct papillary and reticular layers with associated structures like hair follicles, glands, and corpuscles.

This study observed that the pig integument is similar to human skin in both light and electron microscopy, with minimal postnatal developmental differences noted.

In this study, researchers found that the glabrous skin of the rat forelimb contains sparse Meissner corpuscles and Merkel complexes, with more slowly adapting afferents in the palm and rapidly adapting afferents in the digit extremity.

This study found that the vermilion border and mucosa of the monkey lip have a dense sensory innervation, which correlates with their known tactile sensitivity.

This study reviews the embryological origins, anatomical and histological structure, and key functions of the skin, emphasizing its protective, sensory, and regulatory roles, as well as the social and psychological impacts of post-lesion changes.

In this study, TRPV4 channels were found in specific mechanosensory endings in mice skin, suggesting a role in pressure sensation transmitted through A- and C-fibers.

This review examines regenerative hair waves and complex hair cycle domains in transgenic mice, highlighting how these dynamic processes contribute to skin regeneration and the physiological regulation of organs, but reports no new experimental results.

This study presents a two-photon imaging method to visualize low-threshold mechanoreceptor axon terminals in live mouse forepaw skin, enabling repeated high-resolution imaging to study sensory circuits during development and adulthood.

This chapter reviews the skin's structure and its clinical relevance, highlighting connective tissue diseases and the potential for novel treatments like protein, cell, or stem cell transfer, but reports no new findings.

Researchers developed a new way to measure gene activity in single hair follicles and found that a specific gene's activity changes with different amounts and times of treatment.

In this study, the researchers developed and evaluated eco-friendly poly-herbal soap strips using plant extracts from Lantana camara, Moringa Oleifera, and Corn silk, finding that the strips exhibited superior physicochemical properties and significant anti-fungal activity compared to conventional anti-fungal soaps.

This review highlights the beneficial effects of certain herbal drugs in treating skin diseases, such as their healing, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor-promoting activities, emphasizing recent technical advancements in the field over the past 17 years.

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

In this study, the researchers found that scalp sensitivity decreased by less than 39% in patients who underwent hair transplant surgery compared to healthy controls.

The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.

This article explains the structure and multifunctional roles of the human skin, including its protective, regulatory, and sensory functions, but does not report new research findings.

This article reviews potential animal models for studying androgenetic alopecia and reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight the need for further development of rodent models.

In this study with stumptailed macaques, topical minoxidil successfully induced hair regrowth on bald scalps and prevented baldness on non-bald scalps, with no observed side effects over nearly three years.

This article discusses the minimal research on hair growth physiology and highlights Dr. Masumi Inaba's contributions to understanding androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new experimental results.

This paper discusses the lack of a genetic model for androchronogenic alopecia in rodents, noting the stumptailed macaque as a better current model due to its similarities to human male-pattern baldness; it reports no new results.

This chapter discusses the structure and function of the skin, detailing its protective roles and the layers that comprise it, but reports no new research findings.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.

The book details skin conditions in older adults, their link to mental health, cancer treatment importance, hair loss remedies, and managing autoimmune and itchy skin.

This study applied a new RGB trichrome stain to human skin samples, revealing distinct structural staining in normal tissues and potential proteoglycan-rich zones in hair follicles.
