This study found that the differential expression of α- and β-keratin genes in feathers may explain their morphological and structural diversity, highlighting the chicken as a model for studying keratin-related diseases.
research George Ernest Rogers 1927–2021
This biographical abstract highlights George Rogers' pioneering contributions to the understanding of keratin molecular structure and keratinisation biochemistry, including the application of electron microscopy to hair ultrastructure and the discovery of enzymes and gene transcription processes relevant to keratin proteins.
research Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
This study identified distinct gene expression programs in keratinocytes responsible for forming hard scales and soft interscale epidermis in chickens, revealing conserved differentiation genes similar to those in human skin.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.
