Using Avian Skin Explants to Study Tissue Patterning and Organogenesis
Published on: September 15, 2023
Abstract:
It is known that the skin derivatives in homeothermic animals appear in the early prenatal period of development and do not form during postnatal development. However, during skin regeneration, a process of secondary development, it was shown experimentally on eight homeothermic animals, in which full-layered fragments of skin were removed from different morphofunctional regions of skin, that in the skin regenerates its derivatives are formed: hair, sebaceous and sweat glands, and skin folds. The data obtained suggest that formation of the hair and sebaceous glands requires the presence of special dermal fibroblasts in the young connective tissue of regenerants, which are capable of induction of the potencies of regenerating epidermis for organogenesis.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
