research Cloning of a Functional Vitamin D Receptor from the Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), an Ancient Vertebrate Lacking a Calcified Skeleton and Teeth
Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research An Updated Nomenclature for Keratin-Associated Proteins (KAPs)
The document introduced a new naming system for keratin-associated proteins to improve clarity and communication across species.
research The RpoS Gatekeeper in Borrelia burgdorferi: An Invariant Regulatory Scheme That Promotes Spirochete Persistence in Reservoir Hosts and Niche Diversity
RpoS helps Borrelia burgdorferi survive in hosts and adapt to different environments.
research The blastema and epimorphic regeneration in mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Trichohyalin-Like Proteins Have Evolutionarily Conserved Roles in the Morphogenesis of Skin Appendages
Trichohyalin-like proteins are essential for the development of skin structures like hair, nails, and feathers.
research The functions and possible significance of Kremen as the gatekeeper of Wnt signalling in development and pathology
Kremen is crucial for proper development and preventing tumors by regulating Wnt signaling.
research EGFR signaling is required for regenerative proliferation in the cochlea: Conservation in birds and mammals
EGFR signaling is essential for ear cell regeneration in both birds and mammals.
research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.
Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research Principles and mechanisms of regeneration in the mouse model for wound‐induced hair follicle neogenesis
Mice can grow new hair follicles after skin wounds through a process not involving existing hair stem cells, but requiring more research to understand fully.
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 Towards the validation of endogenous steroid testing in wildlife hair
Hair analysis for stress and reproductive hormones in wildlife needs more research for accuracy across species.
research Trypanocidal Effect of Isotretinoin through the Inhibition of Polyamine and Amino Acid Transporters in Trypanosoma cruzi
Isotretinoin shows promise as a treatment for Chagas disease by effectively inhibiting key transporters in the parasite.
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 Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Keratinization of sheath and calamus cells in developing and regenerating feathers
Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.
research The regeneration of caudal epidermal specializations inLygodactylus picturatus keniensis (gekkonidae, Lacertilia)
Lizards can regrow their tail scales with the same structure, distribution, and gender-specific features as the original ones, and this unique ability is not seen in adult mammals.
research Human skin color: Origin, variation and significance
Human skin and hair color variation is mainly due to melanin produced by a few genes, with melanin protecting against sun damage.
research Ultrastructural localization of hair keratin homologs in the claw of the lizard Anolis carolinensis
Lizard claws have hair-like keratins similar to those in mammals.
research Msx2 Supports Epidermal Competency during Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis
The gene Msx2 is crucial for hair follicle regeneration during wound healing.
research Diversity of Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
Hair and wool have diverse keratins and keratin-associated proteins.
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 CHEMICAL FORM OF THE IODINE PRESENT IN THE HAIR OF THE RAT
Iodine in rat hair is linked to hair growth.
research Comparative Proteomic Analysis in Scar-Free Skin Regeneration in Acomys cahirinus and Scarring Mus musculus
The African spiny mouse heals skin without scarring due to different protein activity compared to the common house mouse, which heals with scarring.
research Characterization of curved hair of Japanese women with reference to internal structures and amino acid composition.
Japanese women's curved hair has an uneven internal structure and varying amino acid composition.
research Smart Nanosilver Strikes Twice: Precision Bacteria Killing Meets Autophagy‐Boosted Healing for Infected Wounds
The new nanosilver treatment effectively kills bacteria and speeds up wound healing with less toxicity.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
