90-120 / 1000+ resultsresearch A Highly Sensitive MEMS Silicon-Hair Device Reproducing the Function of Hair Follicle
A new device mimics hair follicle functions and detects tiny forces with high sensitivity.
research Fine Structure of Perifollicular Nerve Endings in Human Hair
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 The existence of a linear system consisting of sympathetic endings in rat skin
Rat skin has a linear system of nerve fibers linked to hair follicles and muscles.
research Effects of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel agonists and antagonists on slowly adapting type II mechanoreceptors in the rat sinus hair follicle
TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels don't affect mechanotransduction in rat sinus hair follicles.
research Montagna Symposium 2016—The Skin: Our Sensory Organ for Itch, Pain, Touch, and Pleasure
The symposium highlighted the skin's role in sensing itch, pain, touch, and pleasure, and discussed new research and techniques for understanding and treating these sensations.
research Growth of Nerve Fibers to Merkel Cells Observed in Co-Culture of Sensory Ganglia and Sinus Hair Follicles
Merkel cells likely attract sensory nerve fibers.
research 50285 Oxytocin receptor is present in keratinocytes near touch and pain sensory neurons
Oxytocin receptors are found in skin cells near touch and pain neurons.
research Comparison of brain functional response to mechanical prickling stimuli to the glabrous and hairy skin
Hairy skin feels prickling more intensely than smooth skin.

Mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin change with the hair cycle.
research Molecular studies of transient receptor potential Vanilloid 3 (TRPV3)
TRPV3 channels are involved in skin processes and are affected by shear stress, influencing itch and mechanotransduction.
research 201 Pain digital biomarker detecting by epidermal biopotential flexible sensor and AI-based system
A new pain-measuring system using sensors and AI can effectively detect pain in mice, which may help assess pain in humans and develop treatments.
