Epidermal Merkel Cells are Mechanosensory Cells that Tune Mammalian Touch Receptors

Touch submodalities, such as flutter and pressure, are mediated by somatosensory afferents whose terminal specializations extract tactile features and encode them as action potential trains with unique activity patterns(1). Whether non-neuronal cells tune touch receptors through active or passive me...
