research 577 Successful allogeneic epidermal grafting of chronic recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa wounds from hematopoietic cell donors in the outpatient setting
Skin grafts from related donors significantly healed chronic wounds in patients with a severe skin condition over a year.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Joint Public Review: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and nerve function in mice.
research Author Response: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
The transcription factor Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve development in touch receptors.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
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 Montagna Symposium 2016—The Skin: Our Sensory Organ for Itch, Pain, Touch, and Pleasure
The symposium highlighted the skin's role in sensing itch, pain, touch, and pleasure, and discussed new research and techniques for understanding and treating these sensations.
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 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 Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
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 KCNQ Potassium Channels Modulate Sensitivity of Skin Down-hair (D-hair) Mechanoreceptors
KCNQ potassium channels help control the sensitivity of touch receptors in the skin.
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 Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
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 Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neuron remodeling and Merkel-cell changes happen independently during skin maintenance.
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 Three-dimensional reconstructions of mechanosensory end organs suggest a unifying mechanism underlying dynamic, light touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Club-like receptors respond to light touch but not to whisking
Club-like receptors detect light touch but not whisking.
research Tenascin-C expressing touch dome keratinocytes exhibit characteristics of all epidermal lineages
Touch dome keratinocytes in adult skin have traits of different skin cell types.
research Concise Review: Tissue-Engineered Skin and Nerve Regeneration in Burn Treatment
New methods for skin and nerve regeneration can improve healing and feeling after burns.
research Three-Dimensional Morphology of Touch Domes in Human Hairy Skin by Correlative Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
Touch domes in human skin are complex sensory structures not directly linked to hair.
research C‐tactile afferents: The mystery of human emotional touch has been hidden hair‐deep
C-tactile afferents are linked to emotional touch and social bonding through hair movement.
research The Functional Diversity of Mammalian Touch Receptors
Mammalian touch receptors have evolved to detect different features, enhancing our ability to perform various tasks and interact socially.
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 3D Printing—A “Touch-Button” Approach to Manufacture Microneedles for Transdermal Drug Delivery
3D printing can make microneedles for drug delivery faster and cheaper.
research Comment on scalp neuropathy in androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.
research Tactile sensitivity in the rat: a correlation between receptor structure and function
Rats have different touch receptors in their paws that help with movement and handling objects.
research Monitoring of clinical signs in goats with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
Goats with BSE or scrapie show varying symptoms, and using only clinical signs may not detect all scrapie cases.
