research Near missed diagnosis of Merkel Cell Carcinoma in a young immunocompetent woman with a recurrent left-arm mass: A case report
A young woman with a rare skin cancer was diagnosed late because her symptoms were unusual for the disease.
research Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Merkel cells stabilize nerve endings in the skin, and they change independently of each other.
research 329 In vitro co-culture models of merkel cell-neurite complex in touch domes
The study concluded that the developed models are effective for studying hair growth mechanisms and testing new treatments.
research 578 Addressing the missing components for appropriate surveillance of Merkel cell carcinoma patients: Detailed recurrence data and an integrated risk analysis approach
Merkel cell carcinoma is most likely to recur within two years of diagnosis, and factors like immune suppression, being over 75, and male sex increase this risk.
research 869 The specification of Merkel cell in the back skin and glabrous paw skin is controlled by FGFR2-meditated signaling
FGFR2 signaling controls Merkel cell formation in different skin regions.
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 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 576 Merkel cell carcinoma with fungi infection: A case report
Surgery and antifungal medication are effective for treating Merkel cell carcinoma with fungal infection.

research Keratin expression in the normal nail unit: markers of regional differentiation
Different parts of the nail express different keratins, showing unique patterns of differentiation.
research Epidemiology of skin cancer in the mature patient
Older adults have a high rate of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, mainly due to UV exposure and age.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Generation and characterization of hair-bearing skin organoids from human pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created hair-growing skin models from stem cells, which could help treat hair loss and skin diseases.
research Overexpression of neurotrophin 4 in skin enhances myelinated sensory endings but does not influence sensory neuron number
Increasing neurotrophin 4 in skin boosts nerve endings but not sensory neuron count.
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 Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Partial interchangeability of Fz3 and Fz6 in tissue polarity signaling for epithelial orientation and axon growth and guidance
Fz3 and Fz6 can partially replace each other in tissue polarity and axon guidance.
research Three-dimensional analyses of touch domes in the hairy skin of the cat paw reveal morphological substrates for complex sensory processing
Cat paws have complex touch sensors for detailed sensory processing.
research A case of localized follicular hamartoma: an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study
