This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

This article presents an update on a family with Coats' plus disorder, documenting additional symptoms and two new similar cases, and reviews literature suggesting a link to dyskeratosis congenita for potential molecular insights.

In this study, hydroxychloroquine use was associated with a delayed onset of integument damage in SLE patients, while higher disease activity over time predicted quicker damage development.

In this study, researchers found that changes in Wnt signaling pathways play a crucial role in feather follicle morphogenesis during chicken embryo development.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This review discusses the use of hairs and feathers as defensive tools through toxin incorporation in certain mammals and birds and reports no new experimental findings.

Integumentary organs adapt and evolve for survival, with potential uses in regenerative medicine.

The skin is the body's largest organ, with layers, cells, and structures that protect and support it.

This study observed that the pig integument is similar to human skin in both light and electron microscopy, with minimal postnatal developmental differences noted.

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 outlines the complex structure and various functions of the skin, emphasizing its role as a barrier against external insults, a sensory receptor, and its importance in vitamin D synthesis.

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 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.

Researchers created a fully functional, bioengineered skin system with hair from stem cells that successfully integrated when transplanted into mice.

This study describes a protocol for generating a fully functional 3D integumentary organ system from murine induced pluripotent stem cells, including the formation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands that function in vivo.

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.

This study reports that the white rhinoceros has a unique integumentary structure among large herbivores, characterized by thick epidermis, organized collagen bundles, and the presence of coiled sweat glands.

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 publication provides a standardized nomenclature for classifying microscopic lesions in laboratory rat and mouse skin, aiming to harmonize international toxicological research.

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.

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

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 found that feeding aged mice a probiotic yogurt induced changes leading to thicker, healthier fur, suggesting a bacteria-triggered interleukin-10-dependent mechanism that mimics signs of youth and reproductive fitness.
