I think I'm obsessed with Merkel Cells! This paper is the 2nd in 3 months that I've looked at that describes these important cells. The same team that showed that Merkel Cells were involved in touch using Atoh1 knockout mice have used these same mice to show that they originate from the skin and not the neural crest. These cells were first discovered back in 1875!
