Nerve endings with structural characteristics of mechanoreceptors in the human scleral spur

, 1994
PURPOSE: The innervation of the scleral spur region was investigated to learn whether mechano-receptors are present in this region. METHODS: Serial tangential sections and whole-mount preparations of the scleral spur region of 18 human eyes of ...

Quantitative correlation of mechanoreceptors in tibial remnant of ruptured human anterior cruciate ligament with duration of injury and its significance: an immunohistochemistry-based observational study

Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2018
Background Proprioception is a specialized sensory modality encompassing the movement of the joint and its position in space. Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) does not always yield expected outcome, suggesting that successful ...

Effects of inflammation on the properties of Nav1.8-ChR2-positive and Nav1.8-ChR2-negative afferent mechanoreceptors in the hindpaw glabrous skin of mice

Molecular Pain
We recently used Nav1.8-ChR2 mice in which Nav1.8-expressing afferents were optogenetically tagged to classify mechanosensitive afferents into Nav1.8-ChR2-positive and Nav1.8-ChR2-negative mechanoreceptors.
