360-390 / 1000+ results research 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 An endophytic microbe from an unusual volcanic swamp corn seeks and inhabits root hair cells to extract rock phosphate
A special microbe helps plants absorb rock phosphate by growing on their root hairs.
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 Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
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 An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
Researchers found a new gene variant linked to a rare bone disease, which doesn't always cause symptoms in carriers.
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 The organization of the keratin I and II gene clusters in placental mammals and marsupials show a striking similarity
Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research Hair Pigmentation: A Research Update
Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
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 The Organizer and Beyond
Cells from certain embryo parts can induce head formation in another embryo, involving complex signaling pathways.
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 Transglutaminase Activity Is Conserved in Stratified Epithelia and Skin Appendages of Mammals and Birds
Transglutaminase activity is important for skin and is found in both mammals and birds.
research Deadly hairs, lethal feathers – convergent evolution of poisonous integument in mammals and birds
Mammals and birds have evolved poisonous skin and feathers for defense.
research Alopecia frontal posmenopáusica
Postmenopausal women may experience frontal hairline and eyebrow loss due to cicatricial fibrosis.
research Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of keratin genes (KRTs) family in yak (Bos grunniens)
Scientists found 53 keratin genes in yaks that are important for hair growth and share similarities with those in other animals.
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 Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
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 De novo assembly and annotation of Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) genome
The Asiatic lion has very low genetic diversity and unique genetic traits, highlighting the need for its conservation.
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 Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
