In this study, researchers identified the PLD-mGluR protein in primary mechanosensory terminals as the homomeric GluK2 kainate receptor, functioning purely metabotropically, which is suggested to be common to various sensory endings.

This study found that calcitonin‐gene‐related peptide immunoreactive sensory axons in rats are predominantly involved in tissue maintenance rather than nociceptive functions.

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 in adult mice found that somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in the skin are highly plastic, with significant remodeling in response to epithelial turnover, and that Merkel cells play a role in limiting axonal branching and promoting their maturation.

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.
