“This is a surprising finding as we don’t yet know why hair follicle cells have this role in processing light touch."

Firstly, it is greatly influenced by skin, which is the greatest sensory organ in the human body. Skin has different layers, such as the dermis and epidermis, that contain different kinds of mechanoreceptors that respond differently to different kinds of touch stimuli.Mechanoreceptors are specialized nerve cells that are responsible for detecting mechanical stimuli such as pressure, vibration, stretching, and distortion.

Additionally, the researchers discovered that in reaction to contact, these hair follicle cells release the neurotransmitters serotonin and histamine. These discoveries may one day aid in our understanding of the function histamine plays in inflammatory skin conditions like eczema.
