      Gap Junctions in Turing-Type Periodic Feather Pattern Formation

      research Gap junctions in Turing-type periodic feather pattern formation

      8 citations , May 2024 in “PLoS Biology”
      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.

      research Gap junctions in Turing-type periodic feather pattern formation

      April 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”
      This study found that gap junctional communication influences feather patterning by modulating Turing-type activator-inhibitor systems in chicken skin, suggesting its role in propagating inhibitory signals crucial for pattern formation.

      research Skin regional specification and higher-order HoxC regulation

      3 citations , March 2025 in “Science Advances”
      This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.

      research Development, Regeneration, and Evolution of Feathers

      151 citations , November 2014 in “Annual Review of Animal Biosciences”
      This review discusses three decades of progress in feather development, regeneration, and evolution, with no new experimental results; it highlights feathers' potential as a model for morphogenesis studies.
      Pattern Formation on Regular Polygons and Circles

      research Pattern formation on regular polygons and circles

      2 citations , November 2024 in “Journal of Nonlinear Science”
      In this study, researchers found that the shape of polygonal domains, such as squares and triangles, significantly impacts Turing pattern formation, with domain geometry affecting the stability and type of bifurcations observed in simulations.

      research Bioelectric state transitions enable de novo feather bud formation in developing skin

      June 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”
      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.
      How a Bird Gets Its Feathers: Insights from Chromatin Looping

      research How a Bird Gets Its Feathers: Insights from Chromatin Looping

      3 citations , June 2020 in “Developmental Cell”
      This study observed that in chicken skin, large-scale differences in gene expression between feathered and scaly skin are controlled by enhancer-driven uniform expression, while small-scale differences within individual feathers are associated with chromatin looping.
      Expression of Hex During Feather Bud Development

      research Expression of Hex during feather bud development

      16 citations , January 2005 in “The International Journal of Developmental Biology”
      This study found that Hex gene expression patterns in chick embryo dorsal skin during feather bud development suggest a significant role in initiating feather morphogenesis.
