780-810 / 1000+ results research Characterization of hairless (Hr) and FGF5genes provides insights into the molecular basis of hair loss in cetaceans
Cetaceans lost hair due to changes in the Hr and FGF5 genes.
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.

Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Regeneration of Epidermal and Dental Tissues, Lens and Cornea
Most vertebrates can regenerate skin, nails, and corneas, but only some can regenerate teeth and lenses.
research Analysis of the FGF gene family provides insights into aquatic adaptation in cetaceans
Whale genes show changes that help them live in water, like less hair and better flippers.
research Embryonic keratinization in vertebrates in relation to land colonization
Keratinization in embryos helped vertebrates adapt to land by forming a protective skin barrier.
