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 Caloric Restriction Promotes Structural and Metabolic Changes in the Skin
Caloric restriction improves skin and fur structure but can cause muscle loss and movement issues.
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 Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Skin of the Baikal seal (<i>Pusa sibirica</i>, Phocidae): norm and pathology
Baikal seals' skin shows normal adaptations and potential pathologies possibly linked to climate change and a viral pathogen.
research Hair coat characteristics in Friesian heifers in the Netherlands and Kenya : experimental data and a review of literature
Friesian heifers take about 18 months to adapt to Kenya's climate, with hair changes not strongly linked to weight gain.
research Signature selection analysis reveals candidate genes associated with production traits in Iranian sheep breeds
Certain genes in Iranian sheep are linked to wool production and heat adaptation.
research Cryptic Patterning of Avian Skin Confers a Developmental Facility for Loss of Neck Feathering
Birds can lose neck feathers due to a genetic change that increases a gene's activity, helping them adapt to heat.
research Anatomical, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms of thermoregulation in elephants
Elephants use their skin, ears, and behavior to cool down, but climate change makes it harder for them.
research Study on the skin structure, hair follicle cycle, and GSDMA protein expression in Ganxi goats
Ganxi goats' skin and hair adapt to heat and humidity, possibly aided by GSDMA protein.
research Genetic Polymorphisms of the 3'-Untranslated Regions (3'-UTR) of the HSP 70 Gene in Moa Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Two genetic variations in Moa buffalo help them adapt to heat.
research Inter-species differences in wound-healing rate: a comparative study involving primates and rodents
Humans heal wounds slower than non-human primates and rodents.
research Characterization of Growth Secondary Hair in Min Pig Activated by Follicle Stem Cell Stimulated by Wnt and BMP Signaling Pathway
Wnt and BMP pathways stimulate hair growth in Min pigs, with Wnt being more effective.
research Genome‐wide association study identifies variants associated with hair length in Brangus cattle
Scientists found genes linked to hair length in Brangus cattle that could help breed heat-tolerant cattle.
research Drug discovery for alopecia: gone today, hair tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.
research Black women’s hair: the main scalp dermatoses and aesthetic practices in women of African ethnicity
Black women's unique hair characteristics and styling practices can lead to specific scalp conditions, which require early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
research The transcriptional landscape of seasonal coat colour moult in the snowshoe hare
Researchers found genes that control hair color and growth change before the visible coat color changes in snowshoe hares.
research HAIR LOSS AND REGENERATION PERFORMED ON ANIMAL MODELS
Animal models are crucial for learning about hair loss and finding treatments.
research Pannexin 3 regulates skin development via Epiprofin
Pannexin 3 helps skin and hair growth by controlling a protein called Epiprofin.
research Molecular and spatial design of early skin development
The research reveals how early embryonic mouse skin develops from simple to complex structures, identifying various cell types and their roles in this process.
research Evaluation of Animal Models Suitable for Hair Research and Regeneration
Animal models, especially mice, are essential for advancing hair loss research and treatment.
research Measurement of Steroid Hormones in Hair: an Analysis of Hormone Dynamics in Hair Follicles
The method accurately measures steroid hormones in hair to study hormone dynamics related to hair loss.

research Effect of physical stimuli on hair follicle deposition of clobetasol-loaded Lipid Nanocarriers
NLCs with manual massage greatly improve clobetasol delivery to hair follicles.
research Peripheral Skin Temperature and Circadian Biological Clock in Shift Nurses after a Day off
Shift nurses show altered body temperature and stress hormone levels, suggesting their body clocks adjust to irregular schedules.
research The Spectrum of Scarring in Craniofacial Wound Repair
Wounds on the face usually heal with scars, but understanding how some wounds heal without scars could lead to better treatments.
