March 2011 in “PLoS Biology” This study found that a mutation in the BMP12/GDF7 gene is associated with the Naked neck trait in chickens, reducing neck feathering due to altered signaling pathways.
This study revealed that during avian skin development, complex tissue architecture results from specific cellular flows and mechanical processes that guide feather bud protrusion and elongation, with distinct differences noted in scale development, where rigidity restricts such transformations.
May 2026 in “The EMBO Journal” This study demonstrated how cellular flows and tissue mechanics guide the topological transformations in avian skin, essential for feather follicle development from scales.

July 2018 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.
September 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, the DIET-AI model, developed from a large dataset of over 200,000 images, demonstrated diagnostic performance for 31 skin diseases comparable to dermatologists of varying experience levels in 15 hospitals across China, supporting its potential effectiveness in clinical settings.
