Genes related to keratin, skin cell differentiation, and immune functions are key in hedgehog skin and spine development.
research Epidermal patterning and induction of different hair types during mouse embryonic development
Different body areas in mice produce different hair types due to interactions between skin layers.
research Histology of moose (Alces alces andersoni) interdigital glands and associated green hairs
Moose have unique interdigital glands with green hairs and larger glands during mating season.
research Novel tissue mechanics-guided cellular flows drive the formation of feather follicles
The study investigates the formation of feather follicles in avian skin using chicken and transgenic quail skin models. It reveals that novel cellular flows initiate chemo-mechanical circuits that guide the morphological transitions necessary for feather bud formation. Initially, stiff dermal condensates protrude from a softened epithelial sheet, activating YAP and causing the epithelial sheet to fold and form a cylindrical wall that invaginates into the skin. This process is crucial for forming tightly packed dermal papillae. The study contrasts this with scale development, where a rigid epithelial sheet restricts dermal cell flows, preventing further transformation. A topological transformation model was developed to describe how feather follicles evolved from scales.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
