This study found that concentrated clusters of noradrenergic nerve fibers form a longitudinal linear system in rat skin, particularly innervating arrector pili muscles.

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

This review explores how adaptive changes in cerebellar and vestibular subsystems may contribute to balance control, noting cellular mechanisms involved, but presents no new clinical findings.

In this review, the authors discuss how understanding and co-regulating multiple signaling pathways could lead to effective regeneration of functional hair cells, highlighting current achievements and future approaches such as small molecule drugs and gene therapy for treating sensorineural hearing loss.

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.

This study found that camphor and similar compounds depress neural activity in rat mechanoreceptors, suggesting that their effects may not be mediated through TRP channels.

Merkel cells likely attract sensory nerve fibers.

This study suggests that five small molecules can induce hair follicle neural crest stem cells to differentiate toward motor neuron progenitor cells with a unipotent differentiation potential.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that human hair follicle outer root sheath cells release ATP, serotonin, and histamine in response to mechanical stimulation, which subsequently activates surrounding sensory neurons.

This study reports that a specific transporter protein in Staphylococcus hominis is responsible for transporting a malodour precursor, thereby playing a key role in human body odor production.

This study using scRNA-seq on 96 skin biopsies from 51 healthy individuals revealed distinct cell signaling pathways in different skin sites, including unique pathways in facial and palmoplantar skin, which may explain their varying susceptibilities to skin disorders.

In this study, researchers developed a mathematical model of outer hair cell hair bundles that replicates experimental responses to mechanical stimuli, providing insights into the stimulus-dependent adaptation mechanisms and the functional significance of their three-row stereocilia configuration in mammalian hearing.

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.

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 presents an improved protocol for isolating and culturing whole neonatal cochlear explants, enabling detailed analysis of hair cells and spiral ganglion neuron cells while simplifying culture steps without sacrificing explant quality, and was successfully tested on mice and rat cochleas.

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 review explores the mechanisms of hair cell death due to factors like noise, ototoxic drugs, and aging and reports no conclusive clinical results; ongoing research may eventually enable preventive treatments for hearing loss.

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 study observed that innervation of the mystacial pad in rats by fine-caliber axons is more extensive and complex than previously described, with distinct differences in labeling patterns depending on the tracer and survival time.

This study uncovered how Staphylococcus hominis transports an odor precursor molecule, potentially leading to new ways to control body odor production in humans.

Aδ-LTMRs have complex synapses with glycine, while Aβ-LTMRs have simpler ones.

This research reports that essential oils may enhance athletic performance by improving cerebral hemodynamics and promoting muscle and psycho-emotional relaxation through activation of the limbic system.

This study found that Merkel cell clusters require Frizzled6 signaling for their polarity information, while other hair follicle-associated structures align their orientation based on the hair follicle itself.

This study highlights the role of Orai1 in ameloblast differentiation and maturation, showing that its down-regulation affects cell proliferation and enamel formation during tooth development.

This study found that sensory and sympathetic innervation in the mystacial pads of mice is governed by a balance of neurotrophin signaling, highlighting the roles of NGF/trkA and NT-3/trkC pathways.

Blocking adenosine A2B receptor may prevent or treat hearing loss.

Wnt and SHH pathways help form hair follicles by coordinating cell processes.

This study found that nestin-negative hair follicle stem cells can differentiate into neural stem cell-like cells, but not mature neurons, through a multi-step neuro-induction process.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 regulates the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons in mice, affecting their response to light touch.
