research Relationships between hair-follicle afferent terminations and glutamic acid decar☐ylase-containing boutons in the cat's spinal cord
This study suggests that hair-follicle afferent axons can be presynaptically inhibited by boutons containing the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase, which is linked to the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid.
research Expression of nicastrin, NICD1, and Hes1 in NCSTN knockout mice: implications for hidradenitis suppurativa, Alzheimer’s, and liver cancer
This study suggests that the NCSTN knockout mouse could serve as an HS animal model, with tamoxifen potentially used for gene deletion in mice.

This review discusses the multifaceted roles of neurotrophins, especially nerve growth factor (NGF), in the development and function of nociceptors and reports no new clinical results.
research Multipotent nestin-expressing stem cells capable of forming neurons are located in the upper, middle and lower part of the vibrissa hair follicle
This study found that multipotent, nestin-expressing stem cells from the upper part of hair follicles can proliferate significantly and differentiate into various cell types, showing potential for nerve and spinal cord repair.
research Three-dimensional microanatomy of mechanoreceptors and their possible mechanism of sensory transduction.
This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.
research A role for p75 neurotrophin receptor in the control of apoptosis‐driven hair follicle regression
In this study, researchers found that p75 neurotrophin receptor signaling affects apoptosis during hair follicle regression in mice, and altering its activity might help manage disorders involving early catagen entry.
