Transglutaminase activity is important for skin and is found in both mammals and birds.
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?

research Skin regional specification and higher-order HoxC regulation
A specific DNA duplication in Polish chickens affects feather shape by altering gene expression.
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.
research NAC transcription factor RD26 is a regulator of root hair morphogenic plasticity
RD26 controls root hair growth during drought by repressing key genes, helping plants save energy.
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 NEUROSENSORY ECOLOGY IN THE JEB
Different species have unique sensory adaptations to perceive their environments.
research Isolation and characterization of a sheep cysteine-rich cuticle keratin pseudogene
Researchers found a non-functional sheep keratin gene due to mutations.
