B-type hairs on female butterfly legs help them choose where to lay eggs.
research The Arrector Pili Muscle and the Follicular Unit of the Scalp: A Microscopic Anatomy Study
The study found that hair follicles are above muscle connections in the scalp, which may help protect stem cell areas.
research Normal histology of the skin
The skin has two main layers, the epidermis and dermis, which work together and are essential for diagnosing skin conditions.
research Ultrastructure of two types of glandular hairs of salvia farinacea benth during development
Capitate trichomes have more endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles, while peltate trichomes have more plastids and larger subcuticular spaces.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Expression of hair keratins in the adult nail unit: an immunohistochemical analysis of the onychogenesis in the proximal nail fold, matrix and nail bed
The ventral matrix is the main source of the nail plate.
research Coexpression of Keratins Characteristic of Skin and Hair Differentiation in Nail Cells
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Keratin expression in the normal nail unit: markers of regional differentiation
Different parts of the nail express different keratins, showing unique patterns of differentiation.
research Development, Structure, and Keratin Expression in C57BL/6J Mouse Eccrine Glands

research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.
Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research Comparative aspects of the inner root sheath in adult and developing hairs of mammals in relation to the evolution of hairs
The inner root sheath evolved to help hair grow safely through the skin in mammals.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues
Trichocytic differentiation starts in cells with epithelial cytokeratins, transitioning to trichocytic cytokeratins in hair and gradually in nails.
research Characterization of sciellin, a precursor to the cornified envelope of human keratinocytes
Sciellin is a protein that helps form protective layers in skin, hair, and nails.
