Research
660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
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 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 Experimental method for creating skin with acquired appendage dysfunction
The study developed mouse models to help research and treat hair and sweat gland issues.
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 Lateral plate mesoderm directs human amnion and ventral skin organoid formation
Lateral plate mesoderm helps create skin and amnion-like tissues for studying development and therapies.
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 Ultrastructural localization of hair keratin homologs in the claw of the lizard Anolis carolinensis
Lizard claws have hair-like keratins similar to those in mammals.
research LB1076 Using the frog embryonic epidermis as a model to study desmosome function during development
Frog skin cells need the protein desmoplakin for proper development and cell layer formation.
research Divergent genetic mechanism leads to spiny hair in rodents
Rodent spiny hair traits are due to genetic factors other than the Edar gene.
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 Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research Author response: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
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 The structure of the cornified claw sheath in the domesticated cat (Felis catus): implications for the claw‐shedding mechanism and the evolution of cornified digital end organs
Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.
research The regeneration of caudal epidermal specializations inLygodactylus picturatus keniensis (gekkonidae, Lacertilia)
Lizards can regrow their tail scales with the same structure, distribution, and gender-specific features as the original ones, and this unique ability is not seen in adult mammals.
research Transient agonism of the sonic hedgehog pathway triggers a permanent transition of skin appendage fate in the chicken embryo
Activating the sonic hedgehog pathway in chicken embryos can permanently change scales to feathers.
research Transformation of amnion epithelium into skin and hair follicles
Mouse amnion can turn into skin and hair follicles with help from certain cells and factors.
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 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 660 Complex cellular flows shape feather follicle topology
Cell movements and forces shape feather growth in chicken skin.
research Neural crest cells give rise to non-myogenic mesenchymal tissue in the adult murid ear pinna
Certain cells in the adult mouse ear come from cranial neural crest cells, but muscle and hair cells do not.
research Regeneration of Epidermal and Dental Tissues, Lens and Cornea
Most vertebrates can regenerate skin, nails, and corneas, but only some can regenerate teeth and lenses.
research Expression of retinoic acid receptors and dermal-epidermal interactions during mouse skin morphogenesis
Retinoic acid can change skin development, like turning scales into feathers or forming glands.
research Skin shedding and tissue regeneration in African spiny mice (Acomys)
African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
research Distinct mechanisms underlie pattern formation in the skin and skin appendages
Different processes create patterns in skin and things like hair and feathers.
research In vivo effects of epidermal growth factor on epidermal pattern formation and hair follicle initiation in the marsupial bandicoot Isoodon macrourus
Epidermal growth factor disrupts hair and gland formation in bandicoots.

EDA signaling is linked to skin disorders, various cancers, and liver disease.
research Heterotypic cell contacts and basal lamina morphology during hair follicle development in the mouse: a light, scanning, and electron microscopic study at the site of tissue interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
