Research
420-450 / 1000+ results research Three-dimensional microanatomy of mechanoreceptors and their possible mechanism of sensory transduction.
Mechanoreceptors convert physical touch into electrical signals through specialized nerve structures.
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 Itraconazole therapy for recalcitrant dermatophyte infections
Itraconazole helps improve tough skin infections but may not prevent them from coming back.
research Tissue‐engineering approaches to enhance nerve regeneration during wound healing
Two methods improved nerve regeneration and touch recovery in skin grafts for burn patients.
research Acne keloidalis nuchae: prevalence, impact, and management challenges
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a tough-to-treat condition that greatly affects quality of life, especially in men of African descent.
research Stem cell therapy as a novel therapeutic intervention for resistant cases of alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia
Stem cell therapy may help treat tough hair loss cases.
research Known and Unknown Features of Hair Cuticle Structure: A Brief Review
The hair cuticle is made of tough proteins that protect the hair, but more research is needed to fully understand its structure.
research Efficacy and safety of baricitinib in patients with refractory alopecia areata
Baricitinib helped some patients with tough-to-treat hair loss regrow hair, but more research is needed on its safety.

research The development of cutaneous afferent pathways in fetal sheep: a structural and functional study
Fetal sheep develop skin nerve pathways and responses to touch and heat between 75 and 134 days of gestation.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Shaft Cuticle–Specific Keratin-Associated Protein 10 Family
KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.
research Combination of topical anthralin and calcipotriene in alopecia areata: A discussion of the mechanisms of action
Using anthralin and calcipotriene together might help treat tough cases of alopecia areata, but more research is needed to understand how it works.
research Role of Robotics in Neuromodulator and Filler Injections of Face
Robotics in facial injections offers precision but is costly and lacks personal touch.
