The Merkel Cell: Recent Findings and Unresolved Problems.

1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

Recently acquired knowledge about the Merkel cell is reviewed, and unresolved problems on the development and function of the cell are discussed. Concerning its developmental origin, the epidermal origin hypothesis has become prevalent since the discovery of cytokeratin polypeptides in it. While the significance of this cell is still unclear, the following functions are presumed: 1) the release of...
