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 Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.

Erdr1 could be a new marker for diagnosing hair loss.
research Metformin Promotes Mechanical Stretch-Induced Skin Regeneration by Improving the Proliferative Activity of Skin-Derived Stem Cells
Metformin helps improve skin regeneration by increasing the growth of skin stem cells.
research In vivo imaging of mammary epithelial cell dynamics in response to lineage-biased Wnt/β-catenin activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
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 Microimaging of hairless rat skin by magnetic resonance at 900 MHz
MRI can effectively image skin structures noninvasively.
