research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
The study described trichilemmal keratinization as a distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle, characterized by the conversion of the outer root sheath's stratified epithelium into anuclear keratin without a keratohyalin layer. This process was observed in the anagen phase below the sebaceous duct opening and in the catagen phase within the trichilemmal sac. The research, using electron microscopy on dog hairs, revealed complex infoldings of cells and unique ladder-like membrane coating granules in anagen, which were acid phosphatase-positive and potentially involved in the disintegration of the inner root sheath.
