H&E-stained sections showing the morphological differences between plantar skin (left) and nonplantar skin (right). Plantar skin has a notably thicker stratum corneum (SC) and viable epidermis (VE) compared to nonplantar skin. Human ex vivo skin biopsies. (human; Figure 2, A.)

Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence detection of selected mechanosensitive ion channel-related proteins (Piezo1, Piezo2, TRAAK) in Meissner corpuscles of human glabrous skin. Meissner corpuscles — encapsulated mechanoreceptors in the dermal papillae of plantar and palmar skin — show immunoreactivity for ion channel proteins. Note the characteristic elongated lamellated structure of each corpuscle. (Homo sapiens; Figure 1.)

Volar characteristics recapitulated in ectopic graft sites. Masson's trichrome-stained volar MSTC (microcolumn skin tissue constructs) graft tissue sections at various timepoints after engraftment, demonstrating persistent volar characteristics including a thickened stratum corneum, acanthotic epidermis and collagen-rich dermis. Panels show how volar (plantar) skin structure with its characteristic thick epidermis and dense collagen bundles compares to non-volar skin. (Homo sapiens; Figure 4.)
