This study found that using deep plane fixation during scalp surgeries significantly reduced closure tension and allowed for increased tissue excision compared to standard techniques without fixation.

This commentary discusses the role of the epidermis in hair follicle induction and reports no new research findings.

This study found that deep plane fixation in scalp surgeries allowed for tension-reduced wound closures and increased tissue excision compared to techniques without deep plane fixation.

This study found that elastic fibre arrangements in the skin of domesticated mammals vary with hair density, with densely-haired species having horizontal fibres and sparsely-haired ones exhibiting a sponge-like system.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.

This article discusses the structure and protective function of pangolin scales, emphasizing their composition of α-keratins and β-keratins, and highlights evolutionary keratin diversification in tetrapods; it reports no new empirical findings.

This study details the histological structure of the white domesticated pig's ear skin and discusses its relevance as a model for human dermatological research.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster is crucial for the development of hair and nails in mice, with key regulation by two mammalian-specific enhancers.

In this study, penetration of FA-PLGA nanoparticles into hair follicles was observed in excised dog, rat, and porcine skin, with the deepest penetration in porcine skin, suggesting its similarity to human skin for drug delivery studies.

This study demonstrates a varied distribution of keratins in the epidermis of the Malayan pangolin, suggesting evolutionary adaptations related to their distinctive scales.

This source emphasizes the importance of understanding scalp anatomy for surgeons performing aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, as such knowledge aids in planning, predicting challenges, and avoiding complications during surgery.

This review discusses the evolutionary history of keratins and reports no new results, highlighting key events that contributed to the development of mammalian hair and integument.

This workshop review from the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society discusses findings in cutaneous biology and endocrinology but presents no new research results.

This study found that the corneal epithelium differentiation program can proceed independently of lens formation, suggesting the corneal program is the default in eye development.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster plays a critical role in the development of ectodermal organs, including hair and nails, with mammalian-specific enhancers increasing transcription levels during development.

This chapter defines skin integrity as a blend of intact structural elements and adaptable functional capacity, highlighting its importance in maintaining skin health across various conditions but reports no new research findings.

This article discusses the structure and functions of the integumentary system and wound healing processes, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the various functions of the skin, its structure, and the impact that damage or disorders can have on both skin function and interpersonal communication, without presenting new experimental findings.

This study from ISTAP emphasizes the importance of preventing skin tears, particularly in vulnerable populations like older adults and neonates, and recommends strategies such as using silicone-based adhesives, emollient therapy, and maintaining a safe environment to reduce the risk of these injuries.

This chapter emphasizes the critical role of the integumentary system in animal physiology, detailing its structures, immune functions, and sensory capabilities as crucial for homeostasis, protection, and various physiological processes.

This article discusses the structure and function of the skin's epidermis, detailing its role as a protective barrier and nutrient exchange system, without presenting new research findings.

SJS/TEN survivors often have severe, overlooked long-term physical problems that are not properly treated after leaving the hospital.

This report describes two cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis with long-term mucosal scarring and liver issues, underscoring the complexities of recovery and chronic effects of this severe drug reaction.

This study reviews the complexities of burn-related skin complications, highlighting postburn pruritus, dyspigmentation, and the risk of malignant ulcers, while offering a framework for evidence-based management through various treatment approaches.

This article highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of certain cutaneous adverse drug reactions and autoimmune disorders in dermatological emergencies, but it reports no new clinical results.

A woman had a severe skin reaction from the drug imiquimod, used for skin cancer, highlighting the need for awareness of rare but serious side effects.

This review outlines the structure and functions of the skin, emphasizing its role as a physical and immune barrier, its moisture regulation, the influence of its microbiome, and the supportive functions of its layers and adnexa.

This study found that ultraviolet treatment for skin conditions such as vitiligo can damage hair, with psoralen plus ultraviolet A causing more follicle damage than narrow band ultraviolet B.

This article discusses toxic epidermal necrolysis, highlighting its high mortality rate despite aggressive treatment, and notes controversy over using high-dose systemic corticosteroids as therapy.
