Overexpression of the glucocorticoid receptor in mice causes developmental defects similar to ectodermal dysplasia.
research Regulation of immune response genes in the skin of allergic and clinically tolerant individuals exposed to p‐phenylenediamine
Everyone has an immune response to PPD, but reactions differ, causing tolerance, mild inflammation, or allergy.
research Physical inactivity is a disease synonymous for a non-permissive brain disorder
Physical inactivity is a primary cause of many human illnesses.
research The character “hairless” in the mouse
Hairless mice lack fur due to a genetic mutation affecting skin response, not hormone issues.
research Skin Conditions in Figure Skaters, Ice-Hockey Players and Speed Skaters
Ice-skating athletes often have skin problems due to cold, infections, and inflammation, needing careful treatment and prevention.

The spiny mouse regenerates ear tissue asymmetrically, with gene expression differences possibly explaining its unique healing abilities.
research Unravelling the Red Beard--Dark Hair Dyad
Dark hair with a red beard likely evolved for camouflage, not attraction.
research 965 In search of the common mechano-chemical pathways during the regeneration of spiny (acomys cahirinus) and laboratory (mus musculus) mouse skin
Spiny mice regenerate skin better than laboratory mice due to larger hair bulges, more stem cells, and different collagen ratios.
research The Interaction of Hair Fibers with Alkali Bromide Solutions
Hair absorbs alkali bromide salts and water, affecting its structure, with absorption decreasing at higher temperatures.
research Mechanisms and applications of the anti-inflammatory effects of photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation therapy using red and near-infrared light can reduce inflammation and aid in healing various conditions.
