[nociceptive Schwann cell]
This cell type has been described by Abdo H et al (2019). Nociceptive Schwann cells represent a specialized cutaneous glial cell type with extensive processes forming a mesh-like network in the subepidermal border of the skin that conveys noxious thermal and mechanical sensitivity. These cells are part of a previously unknown organ that has an essential physiological role in sensing noxious stimuli through a direct excitatory functional connection to sensory neurons.
