Exploring somatosensory innervation of the human lip: A focus on the vermilion

CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that the sensory corpuscles of the vermilion are a mixture of those typical of glabrous skin mucocutaneous tissues. The presence of PIEZO2 and ASIC2 in their axons suggests that these sensory corpuscles function as mechanosensors.PMID:37741584 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152159
