150-180 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Process of Cornification Evolved From the Initial Keratinization in the Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives of Vertebrates: A New Synthesis and the Case of Sauropsids
Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.
research Convergent evolution has led to the loss of claw proteins in snakes and worm lizards
Snakes and worm lizards lost claw proteins due to similar evolutionary changes.
research remarks on the evolution of the integumental scale armour
Pangolin scales evolved for protection, hardening with age, due to keratin gene diversification.
research Expression of retinoic acid receptors and dermal-epidermal interactions during mouse skin morphogenesis
Retinoic acid can change skin development, like turning scales into feathers or forming glands.
research [Genetic expression and morphogenesis of the skin in vertebrates].
Retinoic acid can change skin structures in vertebrates, like turning scales into feathers or hair buds into glands.
research The skin of primates. XLI. The skin of the silver marmoset—Callithrix (= Mico) Argentata
The silver marmoset's skin is thin, lacks pigment cells, and has unique features like keratinized spines and specialized glands.
research Histological characterisation of the skin of the Paraechinus hypomelas, Brandt, 1836 (Erinaceidae: Eulipotyphla)
Brandt's hedgehog has thick skin on its back and many glands near its nostrils.
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 Anatomical development of the skin in foetuses of Red Sokoto goats (Capra hircus)
Red Sokoto goat fetuses develop firmer, pigmented skin with hair follicles as they grow.
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 Histological study of white rhinoceros integument
White rhinoceroses have a unique skin structure with thick epidermis and no hair or oil glands.
research Distribution of keratin and associated proteins in the epidermis of monotreme, marsupial, and placental mammals
Monotreme and marsupial skin proteins show primitive features and species-specific differences compared to placental mammals.
research Recurrent functional divergence of early tetrapod keratins in amphibian toe pads and mammalian hair
Early tetrapod keratins evolved into toe pad proteins in amphibians and hair proteins in mammals.
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 Skin development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)—From skin respiration to thermoregulation
Gray short-tailed opossums' skin shifts from helping with breathing to regulating body temperature as they grow.

research De Novo Regeneration of Rete Ridges during Cetacean skin wound healing
Fraser's Dolphin can heal skin wounds with minimal scarring, unlike humans.
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.
