120-150 / 1000+ resultsresearch Keratinization of sheath and calamus cells in developing and regenerating feathers
Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Structural and Immunocytochemical Characterization of Keratinization in Vertebrate Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives
Vertebrate skin evolved to be more specialized and complex, especially in land animals.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research The Process of Cornification Evolved From the Initial Keratinization in the Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives of Vertebrates: A New Synthesis and the Case of Sauropsids
Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.
research Ultrastructure of the contrasting types of keratinization seen in the tail epidermis of the laboratory mouseMus musculus
Mouse tail skin has different keratinization near hair follicles and scales.
research Bidirectional Barbed Sutures for Wound Closure: Evolution and Applications
Bidirectional barbed sutures are effective and can reduce surgery time, with a low infection rate and potential cost savings despite being more expensive.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research 성장기 모낭에서 큐티클층의 각질화 과정
The cuticle layer in hair follicles thickens during keratinization due to incomplete cytosol loss.
research A histochemical examination of the epidermis of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina L.) during the telogen stage of hair growth
The southern elephant seal's skin layer helps waterproof the skin by being tightly connected to hair shafts.
research The concept of the onychodermis (specialized nail mesenchyme): an embryological assessment and a comparative analysis with the hair follicle
The onychodermis helps anchor the nail bed and may aid in nail formation.
research Review: Evolution and diversification of corneous beta‐proteins, the characteristic epidermal proteins of reptiles and birds
Corneous beta-proteins evolved uniquely in reptiles and birds, forming scales, claws, beaks, and feathers.
research Onycholemmal horn: A distinctive subungual tumour
Onycholemmal horn is a rare nail tumor in elderly women, treated by surgical removal.
research Immunohistochemical demonstration of keratins in the epidermal layers of the Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica), with remarks on the evolution of the integumental scale armour
Keratins in Malayan pangolins vary by region, suggesting scales evolved from the tail towards the head.
research Variation of Differentiation in Nail and Bovine Hoof Cells
research Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Avian Reticulate Scales Implies the Evo–Devo Novelty of Skin Appendages in Foot Sole
Bird foot scales develop differently and can repair but not fully regenerate due to the lack of specialized stem cell areas.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Recurrent functional divergence of early tetrapod keratins in amphibian toe pads and mammalian hair
Early tetrapod keratins evolved into toe pad proteins in amphibians and hair proteins in mammals.
research Onychogryphosis by an elastic wire
research Skin and hair regeneration after calciphylaxis. Histologic changes during formation and shedding of the calciphylactic carapace of the rat
After calciphylaxis, rats showed incomplete skin and hair regeneration, resembling scar tissue with fewer hairs.
research Tooth, hair and claw: Comparing epithelial stem cell niches of ectodermal appendages
The conclusion is that teeth, hair, and claws have similar stem cell niches, which are important for growth and repair, and more research is needed on their regulation and potential markers.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Onycholemmal Carcinoma
A rare nail bed cancer was successfully treated with no recurrence after 4 years.
research Fine structure of marsupial hairs, with emphasis on trichohyalin and the structure of the inner root sheath
Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.
research Painful thickened skin on the soles of the feet
The man has a genetic skin condition called pachyonychia congenita.
research Horn With Miliary Calcification in Squamous Cell Carcinoma
A unique case of skin cancer showed unusual calcification, possibly linked to calcium-binding proteins.
research [Dermatophytic disease: exuberant hyperkeratosis with cutaneous horns].
Antifungal treatment can improve severe skin infections with cutaneous horns.
research When Rare Meets Risky: Clouston Syndrome with Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Clouston syndrome can lead to skin cancer, so monitoring is crucial.
