research 708 Polycomb-mediated repression and Sonic hedgehog signaling regulate Merkel cell specification
Sonic hedgehog signaling is needed for the development of touch-receptor cells in the skin, and the loss of Polycomb repressive complex 2 can lead to more of these cells.
research NEUROSENSORY ECOLOGY IN THE JEB
Different species have unique sensory adaptations to perceive their environments.
research Decision letter: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.
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 Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
research Genetic and Environmental Factors that Control Merkel Cell Development and Survival
Notch signaling stops Merkel cell development, and hair follicles help maintain them after skin injury.
research Are the Meibomian glands “hair follicles without a hair shaft” ?
Meibomian glands are like hair follicles without a hair shaft.
research Epithelial skirt and bulge of human facial vellus hair follicles and and associated Merkel cell-nerve complex
Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.
research In vitro interactions between sensory nerves, epidermis, hair follicles and capillaries in a tissue‐engineered reconstructed skin
The model effectively studies how sensory nerves interact with skin components, aiding research on wound healing and hair growth.
research Keratinisation status and cytokeratins of the human Meibomian gland epithelium
Hyper-keratinisation in Meibomian glands contributes to gland dysfunction.
research Heterotypic cell contacts and basal lamina morphology during hair follicle development in the mouse: a light, scanning, and electron microscopic study at the site of tissue interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
research Evidence of proliferative activity in human Merkel cells: implications in the histogenesis of Merkel cell carcinoma
research The cell membrane complex: Three related but different cellular cohesion components of mammalian hair fibers
The cell membrane complex in mammalian hair has three distinct types with different structures and chemical properties.
research Merkel cell differentiation in trichoblastoma
Trichoblastomas may mimic fetal skin development by having many Merkel cells, unlike adult skin.
research Author response: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Induction of meibocyte differentiation by three-dimensional, matrigel culture of immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cells to form acinar organoids
research Meibomian gland changes in the rhino (hrrhhrrh) mouse.
Rhino mice show significant meibomian gland changes, making them a potential model for studying gland disorders.
research Author response: NuMA-microtubule interactions are critical for spindle orientation and the morphogenesis of diverse epidermal structures
NuMA-microtubule interactions are crucial for proper skin structure and hair growth.
research Modulating mechanosensory afferent excitability by an atypical mG luR
A compound named ZCZ90 can increase muscle spindle firing, potentially helping treat muscle spasms and hypertension.
research Club-like receptors respond to light touch but not to whisking
Club-like receptors detect light touch but not whisking.
research The atypical ‘hippocampal’ glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase D that controls stretch‐sensitivity in primary mechanosensory nerve endings is homomeric purely metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
research Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy of Iontophoretic Transport in Hairless Mouse Skin. Analysis of the Relative Contributions of Diffusion, Migration, and Electroosmosis to Transport in Hair Follicles
Hair follicles significantly enhance electroosmotic transport during iontophoresis.
