In this study, researchers explored the molecular and cellular traits of avian reticulate scales, finding that they lack localized stem cell niches for regeneration, unlike other scale types, leading to repair but not regeneration after wounding.

In this study, transiently activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in chickens transformed reticulate scales on the feet into feathers comparable to body feathers, without ongoing treatment, suggesting this pathway affects the diversity of bird skin appendages.

This study created a detailed spatial atlas of healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing a potential hair follicle origin for basal cell carcinoma and expansion of certain mesenchymal cell populations.

The researchers reported that a polyherbal hair dye using Phyllanthus reticulatus fruit provided effective color, stability, and scalp compatibility without irritation, positioning it as a safe and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes.

This study suggests that chicken and alligator scales evolved independently through convergent evolution rather than sharing a common origin with avian feathers.
