July 2003 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” January 2012 in “CINECA IRIS Institutial Research Information System (University of Genoa)” This study observed fluctuations in hair cortisol levels in rabbits, indicating their HPA axis activity responded similarly to surgical and environmental stressors, suggesting potential anthropomorphic evaluations of stress.
This study in adult mice found that somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in the skin are highly plastic, with significant remodeling in response to epithelial turnover, and that Merkel cells play a role in limiting axonal branching and promoting their maturation.
This study found that RXR and RAR proteins were detectable in normal human skin, suggesting they may play a role in epidermal cell differentiation and hair and gland physiology.
August 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers developed innovative mechanical methods to measure the mechanical properties of Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs, concluding that axial stiffness is mainly due to tip compression and influenced by turgor pressure.
