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 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 Differential dependency of unmyelinated and A delta epidermal and upper dermal innervation on neurotrophins, trk receptors, and p75LNGFR.

research Cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations in intact Merkel cells of an isolated, functioning rat sinus hair preparation
research Sensations Evoked by Microstimulation of Single Mechanoreceptive Afferents Innervating the Human Face and Mouth
Microstimulation of certain facial and mouth nerves can evoke specific sensations, while deeper nerves may require multiple stimulations to affect perception.
research 1442 Neurotransmitter signaling specify sweat gland stem cell fate through intracellular calcium regulation
PRP can improve hair growth in people with hair loss, but more research is needed.
research Skin-type-dependent development of murine mechanosensory neurons
Mechanosensory neurons adapt to different skin types after birth.
