Electron microscopy analysis confirmed the identity of Merkel cells
Merkel cell (Merkel-Ranvier cell) integumentary (skin) receptor cell connected with somatosensory afferents.
Ultrastructural analyses were carried out on cells from the enriched MC fraction. Up to half of the cells presented features characteristic of MCs: a polylobulated nucleus with numerous typical dense-core granules in a clear cytoplasm.
