Innervation of Meissner's corpuscles and Merkel -cells by transplantation of embryonic dorsal root ganglion cells after peripheral nerve section in rats.
Asano K, Nakano T, Tokutake K, Ishii H, Nishizuka T, Iwatsuki K, Onishi T, Kurimoto S, Yamamoto M, Tatebe M, Hirata H. Asano K, et al. J Tissue Eng Regen Med. 2021 Jun;15(6):586-595. doi: 10.1002/term.3196. Epub 2021 Apr 23. J Tissue Eng Regen Med. 2021. PMID: 33837671
Therefore, we hypothesized that the transplantation of embryonic sensory neurons may improve sensory neurons in the skin and innervate Merkel cells and Meissner's corpuscles. We obtained sensory neurons from dorsal root ganglia of 14-day rat embryos. ...We demonstra …

Friedrich Sigmund Merkel and his "Merkel cell", morphology, development, and physiology: review and new results.
Halata Z, Grim M, Bauman KI. Halata Z, et al. Anat Rec A Discov Mol Cell Evol Biol. 2003 Mar;271(1):225-39. doi: 10.1002/ar.a.10029. Anat Rec A Discov Mol Cell Evol Biol. 2003. PMID: 12552639 Free article. Review.
Cytoskeletal filaments consisting of cytokeratins and osmiophilic granules containing a variety of neuropeptides are found in Merkel cells. In anseriform birds, groups of cells resembling Merkel cells, with discoid nerve terminals between cells, form Grandry corp …
