This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.

This review explains the genetic diversity of sheep wool keratin-associated protein genes and explores how this variation might be leveraged for selective breeding to enhance wool fiber traits.

This review discusses the effects of IGF-1 on hair follicle cell proliferation and differentiation, highlighting its roles in paracrine signaling, apoptosis prevention, and hair growth, but reports no new clinical results.

Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.

This review examines the chemical composition and potential health risks of hair straighteners, but it reports no new findings and emphasizes the importance of understanding hair fibre structure for safe use.

This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

In this study, transgenic mice with Rank expression in hair follicles showed excessive lymph node growth, which could be normalized by neutralizing the overproduced RANKL, underscoring its role in immune system regulation.

Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.

The authors conclude that optimizing hair shaft production and appearance may best be achieved by integrating biological, chemical, and physical intervention strategies.

In this study, the presence of certain KAP15-1 gene variants in sheep was associated with differences in wool yield and fiber characteristics.

This review discusses the occurrence and impact of background histopathologic changes in nonhuman primate research, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors to enhance study validity and interpretation.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

This review summarized advancements in intestinal lymphatic drug delivery, emphasizing the evolving understanding of lymphatics as active players in health and disease, which has led to innovative therapeutic strategies and enhanced pharmacokinetic outcomes via this delivery route.

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study is the first to detail major geriatric diseases in aged Julia Creek dunnarts, particularly highlighting hormonal issues like cystic glandular hyperplasia in females and testicular degeneration in males, suggesting these conditions are linked to aging and potentially hormonal dysregulation.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

In this study, researchers analyzed the skin proteome of Alpine Merino sheep to identify proteins and pathways related to wool fiber diameter, finding that cyclic adenosine monophosphate and certain signaling pathways may play a role in this trait.

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.

This study found that 3D cultured hair follicle-like constructs, which include keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells, showed improved gene expression and cell interactions relevant to hair follicle development.

A 90-year-old woman's hand lesion was a rare, aggressive skin cancer treated successfully with surgery.

This article describes pilar cysts, common dermal cysts often seen in young women, which typically require surgical removal.

In this study, researchers found that eccrine sweat glands in human scalp skin are morphologically integrated into the pilosebaceous unit, suggesting they form a common homeostatic tissue environment with adjacent structures.
