Sinus hair follicles in mammals have different nerve fiber types with species-specific patterns, especially in cats.
research 509 Using the human iPSCs-derived sensory neurons re-innervated skin ex vivo model to investigate mast cell-nerve fiber cross-talk in solar elastosis
Nerve fibers may worsen mast cell activity, leading to abnormal elastic fiber buildup from sun exposure.
research Follicle-innervating Aδ-low threshold mechanoreceptors organize through a population-dependent mechanism
Mouse touch-sensitive nerve cells adjust their connections based on competition with other similar cells.
research The innervation of the mystacial pad in the adult rat studied by anterograde transport of HRP conjugates
The mystacial pad's innervation in adult rats is more complex than previously thought.
research 653 Substance P ameliorates epidermal thickness, basal cell density, and asymmetric stem cell self-renewal in skin with decreased sensory innervation
