Adhesion Molecules in Skin Development: Morphogenesis of Feather and Hair

The document discussed the role of adhesion molecules in the development of skin, specifically focusing on the morphogenesis of feathers and hair. It highlighted the importance of these molecules in the structural formation and differentiation processes during skin development. The study was supported by various grants, including those from the NIH and the Council for Tobacco Research, and involved researchers from the Department of Pathology at the University of Southern California. The findings contributed to the understanding of how adhesion molecules influence the formation of skin appendages like feathers and hair.
