Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.
research Skin Appendage Proteins of Tetrapods: Building Blocks of Claws, Feathers, Hair, and Other Cornified Epithelial Structures
Understanding proteins in skin structures like claws and hair is crucial for future research.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Defines Keratinocyte Differentiation in Avian Scutate Scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
