30-60 / 1000+ resultsresearch The sensory innervation of primate facial skin. II. Vermilion border and mucosa of lip
Monkey lips have dense sensory nerves similar to those in other skin areas, explaining their sensitivity.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin often causes discomfort, affects many people, especially women and older adults, and should be managed with careful product selection.
research Club-like receptors respond to light touch but not to whisking
Club-like receptors detect light touch but not whisking.
research Attraction of sensory fibers by Merkel cells during co-culture of sensory ganglia and hair follcies in collagen-gel
research Spider joint hair sensilla: adaptation to proprioreceptive stimulation
Spider joint hair sensilla are adapted to sense movement during walking.
research Three-dimensional architecture and linearized mapping of vibrissa follicle afferents
Large-scale reconstructions enhance understanding of vibrissal sensory mapping in the brain.
research The cellular basis of mechanosensory Merkel-cell innervation during development
BMP signaling is essential for the development of touch domes.
research A SUBPOPULATION OF ITCH RECEPTORS MARKED BY RET EXPRESSION
A new type of nerve cell involved in itch perception was discovered.
research Receptor types in cat hairy skin supplied by myelinated fibers.
Cats' hairy skin has different touch receptors connected by myelinated fibers.

Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Novel Technologies for Exploring the Skin–Brain Axis
Advanced technologies can improve understanding and monitoring of skin-brain interactions.
research Ectopic odorant receptors responding to flavor compounds in skin health and disease: Current insights and future perspectives
Skin odorant receptors respond to flavors and could be targeted to improve skin health and treat diseases.
research Mechanisms of proton inhibition and sensitization of the cation channel TRPV3
Acid can block TRPV3 from outside the cell but boost its function from inside.
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 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 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.
