This study reveals that somatosensory neurons in mouse skin exhibit structural plasticity during hair-follicle regeneration, which may temporarily impair the reliability of encoding gentle touch.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

This study identified the TALE homeodomain transcription factor Meis2 as a crucial regulator for the maturation and end-organ innervation of certain mechanoreceptors in mice, with its absence leading to altered sensory neuron structure and impaired touch sensitivity.

This study found that the transcription factor Meis2 is crucial for the maturation and innervation of sensory neurons responsible for light touch in mice, with its absence leading to reduced touch sensitivity.

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

In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.

This study in male rats identified a unique type of mechanoreceptor, the club-like ending, which responds only to touch and not to self-motion during whisking, contrasting with other receptors that show mixed selectivity.

This study found that sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor S1PR3 are essential in regulating the acute mechanical pain response, highlighting their role in mechanonociception without affecting responses to innocuous touch or thermal stimuli.

In this case report, botulinum neurotoxin injections were associated with a 6-month cessation of priapism episodes in a young man with recurring low-flow priapism, following unsuccessful conventional treatments.

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.

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.

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 article discusses recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of tactile end organs in the epidermis and hair follicles from studies of mouse hairy skin, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers examined a patient with ZMYM2::FGFR1 fusion-positive leukemia, finding that Pemigatinib showed efficacy, while Ponatinib resistance was linked to a specific FGFR1 mutation. Other FGFR inhibitors demonstrated high effectiveness in ex vivo assays.

This review discusses the advantages of robotic hair transplantation using the ARTAS iX robot compared to manual Follicular Unit Extraction, emphasizing enhanced precision, speed, and hair preservation capabilities, and reports no clinical results.

As skin ages, it gets thinner, paler, and more wrinkled, and protection and care like sunblock and moisturizers are important.

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.

This study found that men experiencing long-term symptoms after finasteride use for androgenetic alopecia frequently reported loss of penis sensitivity and anhedonia, among other effects, indicating potential post-finasteride syndrome.

This review discusses the challenges of diagnosing and managing somatization in dermatology patients, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation of unexplained dermatologic symptoms, and reports no new results.

A horse's sudden hair loss was caused by an allergic reaction to a coat conditioning powder.

In this study, a spayed adult female dog with recurrent vaginitis and cystitis due to bone structures in the vaginal canal was successfully treated with manual removal and medication.

This study concluded that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) offers superior benefits over standard moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in improving aerobic capacity, insulin sensitivity, hormonal profiles, and anxiety scores in overweight women with PCOS.

This editorial reviews the concept of central sensitization and central sensitivity syndromes, discussing their potential role linking various chronic conditions, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that decreased pressure sensitivity and 2-point discrimination at the scalp's vertex were significantly associated with androgenetic alopecia in men.

This study demonstrated that while the proposed placebo microneedle stamp design was partially successful in blinding participants with low skin sensitivity, further development of suitable placebo controls is needed.

This study found that combining fructose and DHT in rats successfully mimicked the clinical phenotypes of non-lean PCOS, providing a novel rodent model for this condition.

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

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

This study found that digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) outperformed qPCR in detecting replication competent lentivirus in CAR-T products by offering better sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, making it a reliable and rapid method for ensuring patient safety.

Japanese researchers created new hair follicles from human cells that grew hair when put into mice, and other findings showed a link between eye disease severity and corneal thickness, gene mutations affecting hearing and touch, and the safety of the shingles vaccine for adults over 50.
