research Cryptic Patterning of Avian Skin Confers a Developmental Facility for Loss of Neck Feathering
Birds can lose neck feathers due to a genetic change that increases a gene's activity, helping them adapt to heat.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research TARSAL CONTACT CHEMOSENSORY HAIRS OF THE LARGE WHITE BUTTERFLY PIERIS BRASSICAE AND THEIR POSSIBLE RÔLE IN OVIPOSITION BEHAVIOUR
B-type hairs on female butterfly legs help them choose where to lay eggs.
research Known and Unknown Features of Hair Cuticle Structure: A Brief Review
The hair cuticle is made of tough proteins that protect the hair, but more research is needed to fully understand its structure.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Artificial Infestation of Sarcoptes scabiei (Acari: Sarcoptidae) in Rabbits Exhibits Progressive Pathological Changes, Apoptosis, and Keratinization in the Skin
Rabbits with Sarcoptes scabiei had thicker skin, cell death, and skin hardening.
research The Gross Morphology and Scanning Electron Microscopic Evaluation of the Skin Surface in Congenic Strains of Hairless Mice
Hairless mice lose hair by 3-4 weeks, develop thicker, folded skin, and show pigmentation differences.
research Induction of Hard Keratin Expression in Non-Nail-Matrical Keratinocytes by Nail-Matrical Fibroblasts through Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions
Nail-matrical fibroblasts can make non-nail cells produce hard keratin, useful for nail repair.
research Loss of keratin 10 is accompanied by increased sebocyte proliferation and differentiation
Without keratin 10, there's more growth and development of oil-producing skin cells.
research Pili Trianguli et Canaliculi Is a Defect of Inner Root Sheath Keratinization
The hair defect is due to abnormal inner root sheath keratinization.
research Formation of the cornified envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
research Morphogenesis of the antenna of the male silkmoth. Antheraea polyphemus, III. Development of olfactory sensilla and the properties of hair-forming cells
The male silkmoth's antenna develops olfactory structures over 21 days, with full hair formation by day 15.
research Ultrastructural localization of hair keratins, high sulfur keratin-associated proteins and sulfhydryl oxidase in the human hair
Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.
research cDermo-1 misexpression induces dense dermis, feathers, and scales
cDermo-1 causes dense skin, feathers, and scales in chickens.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Putative Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Expressed in Embryonic Skin of Mice
The 4C32 gene may help in mouse skin development and differentiation.
research Trichophyton tonsurans‐induced kerion celsi with decreased defensin expression and paradoxically increased interleukin‐17A production
Terbinafine effectively treated kerion celsi despite disrupted immune responses.
research 0882 Patterning and regional specification of hairy skin
Secreted inhibitors of Wnt and IGF signaling control hair and tooth development, creating species-specific patterns.
research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
research A Mouse Model for Conditional Expression of Activated β-Catenin in Epidermal Keratinocytes
Activated β-catenin affects hair growth and skin thickness, and changes are reversible.
research Two Cases of Hypertrichosis Cubiti
Two cases of hairy elbows syndrome were described, with normal skin texture and symmetrical hair growth.
research Structural features and sites of expression of a new murine 65 kD and 48 kD hair-related keratin pair, associated with a special type of parakeratotic epithelial differentiation
A new pair of mouse keratins, 65 kD and 48 kD, are found in specific skin areas and are linked to a unique skin differentiation type.
research The Immunohistochemical Changes of Skin during Hair Follicle Cycle after Depilation in Mice
Hair growth after depilation increases skin thickness, mast cell counts, and cell activity.
research Acquired morphological changes of mammalian hair scales
Mammalian hair scales change from smooth to wavy due to friction.
research Delayed epidermal permeability barrier formation and hair follicle aberrations in Inv-Cldn6 mice
Mice with too much Claudin-6 have skin barrier problems and abnormal hair growth.
research Acquired localized hypertrichosis.
A girl grew extra hair in areas where she had insect bites.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
