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 Mechanical stimulation of human hair follicle outer root sheath cultures activates adjacent sensory neurons
Touching hair can activate nearby nerve cells through signals from the hair's outer layer.
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 Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
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 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 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 KCNQ4 K+ channels tune mechanoreceptors for normal touch sensation in mouse and man
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 Skin-type-dependent development of murine mechanosensory neurons
Mechanosensory neurons adapt to different skin types after birth.
research Author Response: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
The transcription factor Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve development in touch receptors.
research Correlation of monosynaptic field potentials evoked by single action potentials in single primary afferent axons and their bouton distributions in the dorsal horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Study on the mechanism of cadmium chloride pollution accelerating skin tissue metabolism disorder, aging and inhibiting hair regeneration
Cadmium chloride pollution can cause skin disorders, speed up aging, and prevent hair growth.
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 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 Decision letter: The signaling lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate regulates mechanical pain
Sphingosine 1-phosphate helps control mechanical pain.
research Author response: The signaling lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate regulates mechanical pain
Sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor S1PR3 are key in controlling mechanical pain.
