Spiny keratoderma is a rare skin condition with small spines on palms and soles, possibly linked to abnormal hair formation.
research Spiny keratoderma ‐ a demonstration of hair keratin and hair type keratinization
Spiny keratoderma may be ectopic hair formation on palms and soles.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research A novel fracture lattice in spiny mouse skin facilitates tissue autotomy and regeneration
Spiny mice have a unique skin structure that helps them heal and regenerate quickly.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Silk secretion from tarantula feet revisited: alleged spigots are probably chemoreceptors
Tarantula feet likely have chemoreceptors, not silk-producing parts.
research Structural and Immunocytochemical Characterization of Keratinization in Vertebrate Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives
Vertebrate skin evolved to be more specialized and complex, especially in land animals.
research remarks on the evolution of the integumental scale armour
Pangolin scales evolved for protection, hardening with age, due to keratin gene diversification.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Spider joint hair sensilla: adaptation to proprioreceptive stimulation
Spider joint hair sensilla are adapted to sense movement during walking.
