The Touch Dome Defines an Epidermal Niche Specialized for Mechanosensory Signaling

Cell Reports, 2013
In mammalian skin, Merkel cells are mechanoreceptor cells that are required for the perception of gentle touch. Recent evidence indicates that mature Merkel cells descend from the proliferative layer of skin epidermis; however, the stem cell niche for ...

A clinical case of Merkel cell carcinoma

Сибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2023
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, rapidly progressive, aggressive skin tumor with frequent metastasis and high mortality. The disease is a multifactorial pathology resulting from the interaction of endogenous and exogenous risk factors.

Merkel cells transduce and encode tactile stimuli to drive Aβ-afferent impulses [PDF]

, 2014
Sensory systems for detecting tactile stimuli have evolved from touch-sensing nerves in invertebrates to complicated tactile end organs in mammals. Merkel discs are tactile end organs consisting of Merkel cells and Aβ-afferent nerve endings and are ...

Merkel cell carcinoma metastasis and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans presenting as a collision tumour: a case report and review of the literature

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009
Introduction Merkel cell carcinoma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans are two very rare neoplasms. The simultaneous occurrence of two different tumour entities at the same anatomical site, collision tumours, is a rare phenomenon.

Expression of developmentally regulated transcription factors in Merkel cell carcinoma

, 2003
We have examined a number of developmentally regulated transcription factors for expression in Merkel cells and MCC cell lines and demonstrated that their expression patterns may be prognostic in MCC.

Dissociation, quantification and culture of normal human merkel cells among epidermal cell populations derived from glabrous and hairy skin sites

, 2003
Merkel cells constitute a unique population that remains difficult to characterize in human skin because of their scarcity. Our aim was to develop tools for the study of Merkel cells in vitro.

Merkel cell carcinoma and Merkel cell polyomavirus: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Several observational studies have assessed the correlation between Merkel cell carcinoma and Merkel cell polyomavirus with variable results. The objective of this systematic review was to determine whether there is a correlation between Merkel cell ...
