research K6irs1, K6irs2, K6irs3, and K6irs4 Represent the Inner-Root-Sheath-Specific Type II Epithelial Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle1
Four specific keratins in hair follicles help understand hair structure and function.
research Cryptic Patterning of Avian Skin Confers a Developmental Facility for Loss of Neck Feathering
Birds can lose neck feathers due to a genetic change that increases a gene's activity, helping them adapt to heat.
research Ubiquity and Diversity of Human-Associated Demodex Mites
All adults have Demodex mites, which vary by region.
research Genomic Organization, Transcriptomic Analysis, and Functional Characterization of Avian α- and β-Keratins in Diverse Feather Forms
Feather diversity is due to different keratin gene combinations, and chickens can help study human keratin diseases.
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 hair cycle and its regulation
Hormones, nutrition, and seasonal changes regulate hair growth cycles, with androgens extending growth phases and factors like aging and malnutrition affecting hair loss and thinning.
research Comparative genome analyses reveal the unique genetic composition and selection signals underlying the phenotypic characteristics of three Chinese domestic goat breeds
Chinese domestic goats have unique genetic traits due to domestication and geographic isolation.
research Identification of the keratin-associated protein 13-3 (KAP13-3) gene in sheep
The KAP13-3 gene in sheep affects wool quality by influencing keratin assembly.
research The Story of the Finest Armor: Developmental Aspects of Reptile Skin
Reptile skin protects and prevents water loss, helping them adapt to land.
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 Insights into the regeneration of skin from Acomys , the spiny mouse
The spiny mouse can regenerate its skin without scarring, which could help us learn how to heal human skin better.
research Does degree of baldness influence vitamin D status?
Baldness does not affect vitamin D levels in men.
research Perspectives in dermatopathology: telomeres and telomerase in ageing and cancer; with emphasis on cutaneous disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research Organizational principles of integumentary organs: Maximizing variations for effective adaptation
Integumentary organs adapt and evolve for survival, with potential uses in regenerative medicine.
research Alopecia frontal posmenopáusica
Postmenopausal women may experience frontal hairline and eyebrow loss due to cicatricial fibrosis.
research PolyQ length co-evolution in neural proteins
PolyQ repeats in neural proteins evolve together, affecting brain function and disease.
research A prostaglandind-synthase-positive mast cell gradient characterizes scalp patterning
Certain immune cells are more common on the top of the head and might help predict or treat common hair loss.
research Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.
research Inter-species differences in wound-healing rate: a comparative study involving primates and rodents
Humans heal wounds slower than non-human primates and rodents.
research Increased 25(OH)D3 level in redheaded people: Could redheadedness be an adaptation to temperate climate?
Redheaded people may have evolved to efficiently make vitamin D in areas with less sunlight.
research Beyond “Ethnicity” in Dermatology
The editor suggests removing "race" and "ethnicity" from dermatology and creating tools to objectively assess skin color and hair texture.
research Co-option of Hair Follicle Keratins into Amelogenesis Is Associated with the Evolution of Prismatic Enamel: A Hypothesis
Hair follicle keratin may have been used in tooth enamel evolution.

research Novel tissue mechanics-guided cellular flows drive the formation of feather follicles
Feather follicles form through specific cellular flows and mechanical changes in the skin.
research Low temperature abolishes human cellular circadian rhythm through Hopf bifurcation
Cold temperatures can stop human cell circadian rhythms, but warming restores them.
research Regulatory T cells in skin utilize the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 axis to promote hair follicle regeneration
Regulatory T cells help hair growth by using the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 pathway.
research Unravelling the Red Beard--Dark Hair Dyad
Dark hair with a red beard likely evolved for camouflage, not attraction.
