research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.

Brandt's hedgehog has thick skin on its back and many glands near its nostrils.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Epidermal Barrier
Healthy skin prevents water loss and protects against threats.
research Ectoin attenuates cortisone‐induced skin issues by suppression GR signaling and the UVB‐induced overexpression of 11β‐HSD1

research Fine structure of marsupial hairs, with emphasis on trichohyalin and the structure of the inner root sheath
Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
