research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Defines Keratinocyte Differentiation in Avian Scutate Scales

5 citations, January 2022 in “Scientific reports”

The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.

research Review: Evolution And Diversification Of Corneous Beta-Proteins, The Characteristic Epidermal Proteins Of Reptiles And Birds

72 citations, December 2018 in “Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B Molecular and Developmental Evolution”

Corneous beta-proteins evolved uniquely in reptiles and birds, forming scales, claws, beaks, and feathers.

Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link Between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules

research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link Between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules

22 citations, December 2016 in “PloS one”

A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.

research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates

36 citations, November 2019 in “Molecular biology and evolution”
