Selective breeding caused the unique curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Skin Biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research Mechanisms Regulating Skin Immunity and Inflammation
The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
research Gender Differences in Skin: A Review of the Literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research Cloning of Wrinkle-Free, a Previously Uncharacterized Mouse Mutation, Reveals Crucial Roles for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in Skin and Hair Development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research KGF And EGF Signaling Block Hair Follicle Induction And Promote Interfollicular Epidermal Fate In Developing Mouse Skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.

The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research A Comparison of Transcriptomic Patterns Measured in the Skin of Chinese Fine and Coarse Wool Sheep Breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Catalytic-Dependent and -Independent Activities of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 Differentially Regulate Skin Stem Cell Specification
PRC1 influences skin stem cell development by both turning genes on and off, affecting hair growth and skin cell types.
