Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.

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.

This study examined the sensory innervation of hair follicles in the furry skin of rat hindlimbs, finding significant differences among hair types in their innervation patterns and densities.

This study revealed the complex three-dimensional innervation of touch domes in cat forepaw skin, highlighting the extensive branching and unmyelinated endings associated with Merkel cell–axon complexes.

This study found that upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles are specialized for nerve interactions, crucial for forming tactile sensory units, and influence touch responses via EGFL6 and αv integrin pathways.

In this study, upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles were shown to play a role in forming tactile sensory units by creating an extracellular matrix that supports nerve interactions.

This study concluded that terminal Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of mechanosensory lanceolate complexes at hair follicles in adult mice.

This study identified a distinct CD49fhigh mesenchymal stem cell subpopulation in the dermis that supports hair follicle development and maintenance via Notch signaling activation.

Touch domes in human skin are complex sensory structures not directly linked to hair.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

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 harp seal vibrissal innervation studies focusing only on lateral vibrissae may overestimate total innervation by about 20%, highlighting the importance of considering the entire snout.

This article reviews the role of exosomes in promoting axonal regeneration and discusses recent findings on how exosome-borne molecules might influence the PTEN-mTOR pathway in injured neurons; it reports no new experimental results.

Canine skin has two main layers: the epidermis and dermis, with a supportive subcutis layer.

This article reviews current strategies and advancements in regenerating skin appendages and sensory nerves in tissue-engineered skin, highlighting the challenge of restoring skin sensations like pain, temperature, and touch to improve patients’ quality of life.

In this study, rabies virus antigens were detected in the outer root sheath of the follicle-sinus complex in the muzzle skin of rabid dogs, suggesting its usefulness as an alternative diagnostic specimen.

This review discusses strategies for regenerating cutaneous nerve function in burn patients and highlights the potential role of autologous skin-derived adult stem cells in improving sensory recovery, but reports no new experimental findings.

In a study on diabetic mice, researchers developed a protein-based hydrogel that leverages zinc ions and the natural compound phellopterin to promote cutaneous nerve regeneration, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling in diabetic wounds, highlighting its potential for advanced wound therapy.

This study found that arrector pili muscles formed by Sonic Hedgehog signaling play a critical role in maintaining sympathetic nerve connections to hair follicle stem cells, influencing hair regeneration, with implications for hair loss treatments.

In this study, researchers used an evolutionary-rate-based method to identify genetic elements associated with reduced hair in mammals, finding a dichotomy between accelerated coding sequences and noncoding regulatory elements influencing hair growth.
