This study examined the morphological features of buffalo lips, finding that their structure includes distinct layers of skin, muscle, connective tissue, and glands.

Using synchrotron X-ray imaging, this study mapped the complex innervation of male rat vibrissa follicles, revealing distinct types of myelinated afferent neurons and patterns of axonal organization that may inform sensory processing in the brainstem.

This study developed a novel multi-scale image descriptor using dictionaries for classifying histological images, achieving average recall and precision measures of 0.81 and 0.86 in identifying specific skin structures and pathologies.

This study observed that during male silkmoth development, trichogen cells in olfactory sensilla undergo significant membrane recycling, contributing to sensillum structure formation in a precisely timed series of stages.

This study found that the spinal projection of afferents innervating slowly adapting mechanoreceptors had a greater rostrocaudal extent and number of boutons compared to those innervating rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors.

This study reports that different animal species exhibit distinct hair scale patterns and elemental compositions, which can aid forensic investigations in identifying animal hair.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

In these studies, researchers found that Peruvian camelids reach mature skin follicle development early, with specific cuticular characteristics useful for distinguishing fleece types, while Bolivian llamas have a mature follicle apparatus present at birth.

In this study, researchers found that the morphology, composition, and elemental enrichment of domestic cat hairs vary significantly along their length, contributing to a functional gradient that affects mechanical properties and challenging assumptions of uniformity in hair structure.

In this study, researchers observed that mechanosensory neurons initially develop similar morphologies across different skin regions but diverge post-natally, adapting to the type of skin they innervate, with bone morphogenetic protein signaling crucial for forming Meissner corpuscles in glabrous skin.

This study introduces a spherical skin model that effectively mimics key features of human skin, offering a scalable and rapid alternative for non-animal dermatological and cosmetic testing.

This study suggests that the harlequin ichthyosis mouse model closely resembles human type 2 harlequin ichthyosis, indicating its potential as a useful model for studying the human condition.

This study explored the expression and potential functions of long non-coding RNAs in the skin pigmentation of Koi carp, revealing their involvement in pigmentation and differentiation mechanisms.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.

This study investigated various animal tissues from adult mice and embryonic chicks, finding that tissue stiffness follows a sub-linear power law relationship with Collagen-I levels, consistent with cellularized collagen gels but not acellular ones.

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 study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

This study found that the culture conditions, not species-specific differences, determined whether sika deer dermal papilla cells adopted a 3D spheroidal or 2D monolayer growth pattern, influencing their hair-inducing ability.

This study describes three adult dogs with sebaceous gland dysplasia, reporting that two showed moderate to marked improvement in symptoms with treatment, though ongoing management is required as the condition cannot be cured.

This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.

This study characterized the hair follicle patterns of Indian bison, Black buck, and Nilgai, providing valuable data to help identify these endangered species' skins, commonly targeted by poachers.

This study found that distinct spiny hair morphologies in rodents arose independently multiple times but did not link the Ecdysoplasin A receptor gene mutation that affects human hair to these variations.

In this study, fish-derived collagen hydrolysate from tilapia scales improved hair growth and skin health in both cellular and mouse models, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation while enhancing hair quality and promoting beneficial gene expression.

The authors concluded that milia, steatocystoma multiplex, and eruptive vellus hair cysts may be subtypes of multiple pilosebaceous cysts with overlapping histologic features.

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.

In this study, researchers observed significant variations in the hierarchical structures of domestic cat hairs and whiskers, showing that local mechanical properties are influenced by the distribution and composition of internal granules and calcium enrichment along the hair's length.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.
