30 / 1000+ results research The Functional Organization of Cutaneous Low-Threshold Mechanosensory Neurons
Different hair follicles in the skin are innervated by unique combinations of mechanosensory neurons, crucial for touch sensation.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research KCNQ Potassium Channels Modulate Sensitivity of Skin Down-hair (D-hair) Mechanoreceptors
KCNQ potassium channels help control the sensitivity of touch receptors in the skin.
research Intravital Two-Photon Imaging of Touch Sensory Axon Morphology in Mouse Skin
A new imaging method helps see and study touch nerve endings in mouse skin.
research The structure and organization of lanceolate mechanosensory complexes at mouse hair follicles
Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.
research A Study of the Expression of Small Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels (SK1-3) in Sensory Endings of Muscle Spindles and Lanceolate Endings of Hair Follicles in the Rat
SK2 channels help control sensory signals in rat muscle spindles and hair follicles.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
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.
research Lack of Evidence for Sprouting of Aβ Afferents into the Superficial Laminas of the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn after Nerve Section
Aβ afferents do not sprout into the superficial spinal cord layers after nerve injury.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Ca 2+ -mediated protein citrullination regulates proliferation in the regenerating and malignant CNS
Ca²⁺-mediated protein citrullination controls cell growth in the CNS and may help treat brain tumors.
research TRPV Channels in Osteoarthritis: A Comprehensive Review
TRPV channels are important in osteoarthritis and could be key to new treatments.
research A subpopulation of itch‐sensing neurons marked by Ret and somatostatin expression
Scientists found a specific group of itch-sensing nerve cells in mice important for feeling itch but not for sensing heat or touch.
research Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
research Neurotrophin-4 modulates the mechanotransducer Cav3.2 T-type calcium current in mice down-hair neurons
Neurotrophin-4 increases calcium current in specific mouse neurons through the PI3K pathway.
research Different Requirements for GFRα2-Signaling in Three Populations of Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
GFRα2 is essential for controlling neuron size but not for target innervation in certain sensory neurons.
research Three-dimensional reconstructions of mechanosensory end organs suggest a unifying mechanism underlying dynamic, light touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Effect of hair restoration surgery on the scalp sensitivity
Hair transplant surgery reduces scalp sensitivity by almost 40%, and smokers have less scalp sensitivity than non-smokers. The time since surgery doesn't significantly affect this.
research Characterisation of CD4+ stem cells of the skin and their role in skin homeostasis and tumourigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
