Swelling-Activated Ca(2+) Channels Trigger Ca(2+) Signals in Merkel Cells

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 neurotransmission; however, functional studies test...
