March 2012 in “Pathy's Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine” Older adults often have skin problems due to aging, and treating these conditions requires attention to both physical and mental health.
33 citations
,
June 2017 in “Developmental Biology” This study found that local refinement of hair follicles into higher order patterns can occur without the core planar cell polarity system, but global alignment with body axes requires its function throughout development and regeneration.
9 citations
