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 Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Comment on scalp neuropathy in androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.

Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause fragile, sparse hair in humans, mice, and rats.
research Sympathetic Reinnervation of Intact and Upper Follicle Xenografts into BALB/c-nu/nu Mice
Transplanted rat hair follicles grew hair and had increased but not fully restored nerve connections in mice.
research An Autosomal Recessive Form of Monilethrix Is Caused by Mutations in DSG4: Clinical Overlap with Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause a severe form of brittle hair and skin issues.
research A Recurrent Intragenic Deletion in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlies Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis
A gene deletion in DSG4 causes sparse hair in some Pakistani families.
research A Missense Mutation in the Cadherin Interaction Site of The Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlies Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.

research More than One Gene Involved in Monilethrix: Intracellular but also Extracellular Players
Monilethrix involves multiple genes affecting hair structure, including DSG4 mutations.
research Genome-Wide Association Studies of Hair Whorl in Pigs
Genes affect pig hair patterns, aiding better breeding.
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 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.
