Swelling-activated Ca2+ channels trigger Ca2+ signals in Merkel cells.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Merkel cell-neurite complexes are highly sensitive touch receptors comprising epidermal Merkel cells and sensory afferents. Based on morphological and molecular studies, Merkel cells are proposed to be mechanosensory cells that signal afferents via ...
