This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

This study demonstrated how cellular flows and tissue mechanics guide the topological transformations in avian skin, essential for feather follicle development from scales.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

In this study, researchers used embryonic chicken skin as a model to show that perturbing calcium signaling can induce feather bud formation in areas that typically do not form them, highlighting developmental bioelectricity as a crucial yet underexplored layer in tissue patterning.

Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.
