Defining Key Genes Regulating Morphogenesis of Apocrine Sweat Gland in Sheepskin
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The apocrine sweat gland is a unique skin appendage in humans compared to mouse and chicken models. The absence of apocrine sweat glands in chicken and murine skin largely restrains further understanding of the complexity of human skin biology and skin ...

Reciprocal interaction between vascular niche and sweat gland promotes sweat gland regeneration [PDF]
Bioactive Materials, 2023 The incorporation of vasculature is known to be effective in tissue or organ functional regeneration. However, a vague understanding of the interaction between epidermal appendages and their vascular niches is a foremost obstacle to obtaining sweat gland

Eccrine sweat gland development and sweat secretion [PDF]
Experimental Dermatology, 2015 AbstractEccrine sweat glands help to maintain homoeostasis, primarily by stabilizing body temperature. Derived from embryonic ectoderm, millions of eccrine glands are distributed across human skin and secrete litres of sweat per day. Their easy accessibility has facilitated the start of analyses of their development and function.
