Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.
research WISP-1 induced by mechanical stress contributes to the fibrosis and hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum via the Hedgehog-Gli1 signaling
Mechanical stress causes ligament thickening through WISP-1 and Hedgehog signaling.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
