180-210 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 A new in vitro culture system to produce a fully differentiated epidermis from human hair follicle outer root sheath cells
Researchers developed a method to grow skin-like tissue from hair cells.
research A transient dermal niche and dual epidermal programs underlie sweat gland development
Sweat gland development involves two unique skin cell programs and a temporary skin environment.

research 1299 Live imaging of keratin network in stratum granulosum reveals dynamic cytoskeletal changes during cornification in mice in vivo
The keratin network in mouse skin changes during cornification and affects the skin's protective barrier.
research Facile and Efficient Enzymatic Methods for Harvesting or Removal of Cuticle Cells from Human Hair Shafts
The conclusion is that new methods for isolating hair cuticle cells and removing the cuticle layer are effective and convenient.
research Dermo‐epidermal interactions in reptilian scales: Speculations on the evolution of scales, feathers, and hairs
Reptilian scales, feathers, and hairs evolved from changes in skin cell interactions.
research Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa
Epidermal stem cells create and maintain skin structures like hair and nails through specific signaling pathways and vary by location and function.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Defining the complex epithelia that comprise the canine claw with molecular markers of differentiation
Canine claws have complex structures with different keratin types, similar to hair and nails.
research The skin of primates. XLI. The skin of the silver marmoset—Callithrix (= Mico) Argentata
The silver marmoset's skin is thin, lacks pigment cells, and has unique features like keratinized spines and specialized glands.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues. I. Human and bovine hair follicles
Human and bovine hair follicles have distinct cytokeratins specific to hair-forming cells.
research Some electron microscope observations on hardening in the human hair follicle
The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.
research Comparative studies of the ultrastructure of the sebaceous gland
Sebum production in sebaceous glands is similar to hair growth, involving cell development and degeneration.
research Keratins 1 and 10 or homologues as regular constituents of inner root sheath and cuticle cells in the human hair follicle.
Keratins K1 and K10 are found in the inner root sheath and cuticle of human hair follicles.
research Functional analysis of keratin components in the mouse hair follicle inner root sheath
Keratin in mouse hair follicles is complex and plays specific roles.
research Tight junctions form a barrier in porcine hair follicles
