Schober JM, Martín-Alguacil N, Cooper RS, Aardsma N, Mayoglou L, Litvin Y and Pfaff D

Aim: Merkel cells are located in glabrous skin, hairy skin, and in some mucosa. Clinically significant for their role in sensory perception, neuroendocrine signaling, and MC carcinoma of the vagina, the study of genital tissue sources may enhance understanding of sexual arousal, changes in sexual sensitivity in various hormonal environments, and perhaps even epithelial changes that precede cancer. Details about Merkel cell appearance, location, and function continue to emerge, but little is known about these details in female genital tissue.
