The structure and organization of lanceolate mechanosensory complexes at mouse hair follicles.

eLife - 25 Feb 2014

Li Lishi, Ginty David D

Abstract excerpt

In mouse hairy skin, lanceolate complexes associated with three types of hair follicles, guard, awl/auchene and zigzag, serve as mechanosensory end organs. These structures are formed by unique combinations of low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs), Aβ RA-LTMRs, Aδ-LTMRs, and C-LTMRs, and their associated terminal Schwann cells (TSCs). In this study, we investigated the organization, ultrastructure, and...
