The morphology and potential function of mechanoreceptors found on members of the family Coenobitidae [PDF]
ArthropodsThe mechanoreceptors of land-dwelling juveniles of the family Coenobitidae were studied using scanning electron microscopy to determine how their morphology varied from the mechanoreceptors of the marine dwelling zoea stage.

MAPK and β-Catenin signaling: implication and interplay in orthodontic tooth movement
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022 Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) requires the orthodontic forces (compressive and tensile strain) to subject to the periodontal ligament and mechanosensory cells in the periodontium and to achieve mechanotransduction by mechanoreceptors.

Mechanoreceptors and Stochastic Resonance
Scholarpedia, 2008 Stochastic Resonance (SR) is a counterintuitive phenomenon whereby noise under appropriate conditions can enhance the detection of weak signals rather than interfering with signal transmission. Originally described in nonlinear physical systems, SR is applicable as well for biological processes that are also frequently nonlinear.

SPLANCHNIC MECHANORECEPTORS IN THE DOG [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1974 Single unit recordings from the splanchnic nerve of the dog have demonstrated the presence of Aδ and C fibres which respond to mechanical stimuli. The units gave tonic discharges in response to maintained mechanical stimuli and the majority had punctate mechanosensitive sites which occurred at vascular divisions.
