research The Rhino Mouse: Retinoid Effects on a Model of Keratin Accumulation
Retinoids can help reduce keratin buildup in skin conditions.
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 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.
research The cell membrane complex: Three related but different cellular cohesion components of mammalian hair fibers
The cell membrane complex in mammalian hair has three distinct types with different structures and chemical properties.
research Catagen in the hairless house mouse
Hairless mice have longer hair follicles and abnormal structures during the catagen phase.
research Cuticle damage and the tensile properties of human hair
Cuticle damage doesn't affect hair's tensile strength; the cortex is responsible for it.

Lack of Ctip2 in skin cells delays wound healing and disrupts hair follicle stem cell markers in mice.
research Integral Lipid in Human Hair Follicle
The lipid in human hair follicles acts as a barrier, similar to the skin's lipid layer.
research A histochemical examination of the epidermis of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina L.) during the telogen stage of hair growth
The southern elephant seal's skin layer helps waterproof the skin by being tightly connected to hair shafts.
research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
