research Molecular Regulation and Cellular Heterogeneity in Skin Repair and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Ovol2 is crucial for hair growth and skin healing by controlling cell movement and growth.
research Hair follicle regeneration in vitro
Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
research Developmental and evolutionary comparative analysis of a regulatory landscape in mouse and chicken
Gene regulation evolved differently in mouse and chicken skin, but remained stable in their trunks.
research Comprehensive molecular and cellular studies suggest avian scutate scales are secondarily derived from feathers, and more distant from reptilian scales
Bird scales evolved from feathers, not reptile scales.
research Formation of regulator/target gene relationships during evolution
Gene regulatory regions evolve faster than protein coding regions, allowing new gene relationships without changing transcription factors.
research 660 Complex cellular flows shape feather follicle topology
Cell movements and forces shape feather growth in chicken skin.
research Expression of Wnt Genes in Echinaster Sepositus Arm Regeneration
Wnt genes help starfish regrow arms by aiding wound healing and cell development.
research Generation of bioengineered feather buds on a reconstructed chick skin from dissociated epithelial and mesenchymal cells
Scientists created feather buds in lab-grown chick skin using specific cell interactions.
research Bioelectric state transitions enable de novo feather bud formation in developing skin
Changing calcium signals can create new feather buds in chicken embryos.
