Overexpressing 14-3-3σ in mice skin reduces cell growth and hair density.
research Anatomical development of the skin in foetuses of Red Sokoto goats (Capra hircus)
Red Sokoto goat fetuses develop firmer, pigmented skin with hair follicles as they grow.
research The abnormal skin structure of newly born Wistar rat maternally-treated with aspartame: histological and immunohistochemical study
Maternal aspartame consumption during pregnancy leads to skin damage and higher apoptosis in newborn rat offspring.
research Newborn infant skin gene expression: Remarkable differences versus adults
Newborn skin is uniquely prepared to adapt to new environments compared to adult skin.
research The ultrastructure of the interfollicular epidermis of the hairless (hr/hr) mouse
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Growth of the Hair
Hair growth is cyclic and influenced mainly by local factors.
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 Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research Mice lacking desmocollin 1 show epidermal fragility accompanied by barrier defects and abnormal differentiation
Desmocollin 1 is essential for strong skin and proper skin function.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.

Removing both KLK5 and KLK7 proteins can prevent death and skin issues in Netherton syndrome.
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 Inductive Properties of Hair Follicle Cells
Hair growth can be induced by certain cells found at the base of hair follicles, and these cells may also influence hair development and regeneration.
