This study reports that BMP2 expression in goat skin is higher during late telogen and early anagen phases, indicating a potential role in hair follicle regeneration.

This review explores the potential genetic and epigenetic influences on hair whorl patterns and suggests that pattern formation may involve basic physical-chemical laws, although it reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that female Holdobaggy goslings have higher melanin content in their dorsal plumage than males, suggesting that initial plumage color can be used for sex identification.

This study found that UVB irradiation alters skin stem cell niches leading to signs of photoaging, which may be reversed by adipose-derived stem cells through BMP4 pathway modulation and niche remodeling.

In this study, researchers identified gremilin-2 as a highly specific gene to the dermal sheath cup, suggesting it plays a key role in maintaining its properties.

This study found that hair follicle matrix progenitors differentiate into various layers asynchronously, with early progenitors forming the companion layer and later progenitors generating the inner root sheath and hair shaft.

This study identified that in mice, sweat gland development is directed by mesenchymal signals that suppress SHH-production, while in humans, this occurs through a BMP spike in embryonic development.

The study found that exposing Arbas Cashmere goats to a short photoperiod significantly increased cashmere production by extending the anagen phase of hair follicles, with gene expression changes identified as contributing factors.

This research reports that the polyG fragment within the Hoxc13 protein alters its gene regulatory functions, which could have influenced mammalian hair evolution by affecting pathways related to hair follicle development.

This study found that zebrafish and stickleback fish use similar genetic programs for tooth regeneration, despite differences in their dental structures.

This study observed that GREM2 was specifically and robustly expressed in the dermal sheath cup of hair follicles during various hair cycle phases, suggesting its significant role in regulating hair cycling processes through BMP signaling.

This study investigated the gene and protein expression differences in early and late feathering chickens, identifying several pathways, like JAK-STAT and WNT, potentially involved in non-Mendelian feather growth regulation.
