Different hair follicles in the skin are innervated by unique combinations of mechanosensory neurons, crucial for touch sensation.

Scientists found a specific group of itch-sensing nerve cells in mice important for feeling itch but not for sensing heat or touch.

The symposium highlighted the skin's role in sensing itch, pain, touch, and pleasure, and discussed new research and techniques for understanding and treating these sensations.

The study concluded that the developed models are effective for studying hair growth mechanisms and testing new treatments.

KCNQ potassium channels help control the sensitivity of touch receptors in the skin.

Scientists created hair-growing skin models from stem cells, which could help treat hair loss and skin diseases.

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

TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.

Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.

Dental pulp stem cells might not reliably become neurons.

The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.

Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.

TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.

New methods for skin and nerve regeneration can improve healing and feeling after burns.

Hair follicle stem cells are a promising source for tissue repair and treating skin or hair diseases.

Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.

Chronic scalp pain in trichodynia involves both body-wide and localized increased pain sensitivity.

Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.

Hair follicle stem cells can become different cell types and may help treat neurodegenerative disorders.

Epidermal stem cells show promise for treating orthopedic injuries and diseases.

Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

Blond hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique genetic variant, not European ancestry.

Skin-derived stem cells can become various cell types, including germ cell-like and oocyte-like cells.

Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.

Skin stem cells can help improve skin repair and regeneration.

Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.

The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.

Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.

The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
