Ultrastructural Analysis of the Integument of a Desert‐Adapted Mammal, the One‐Humped Camel (Camelus dromedarius)
TLDR
Together, these data indicate that while the camel is clearly adapted for a desert lifestyle, these adaptations do not include significant specializations at the cellular or subcellular level in the integument. Expand
Regional histology of the subcutaneous tissue and the sweat glands of Large White Yorkshire pigs.
TLDR
The subcutaneous tissue was less in the snout, dorsal nasal area and carpal regions as compared to the other regions under study for functional reasons and in these locations the musculature was in direct contact with the skin. Expand
The Camel Rhinarium: A Study Revealing the Presence of the Nasal Plane in Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius), with Special Reference to Its Epidermal Structure

TLDR
The basic histological structure as well as the epidermal ultrastructure of the camel nasal plane was observed to resemble very closely the common type. Expand
FGF5 missense mutation is associated with dromedary hair length variation.
TLDR
This study constitutes the first thorough exploration of the FGF5 gene in dromedaries with results that validate the association via genotyping the polymorphism in a large population of diverse camels and test the segregation of the identified variant with hair length in a pedigree. Expand
Unraveling the relationship between the topographic distribution patterns of skin temperature and perspiration response in dromedary camels.
TLDR
Analysis indicated that Tsk in many regions can affect perspiration in camels, but it failed to demonstrate a topographic pattern in perspiration response at higher or lower Ta; therefore, the data attests that no specific relationship may exist between the topography of a perspiration pattern and the level of regional Tsk.

How the Structure of the Sweat Glands of Camel Symphonizes their Reliable Function
| It is well known that camels can live in severe environmental conditions and have ability to regulate its body temperature in such conditions. Previous studies indicated that skin is playing a… Expand
The histological characteristics, age-related thickness change of skin, and expression of the HSPs in the skin during hair cycle in yak (Bos grunniens)
TLDR
The investigation reports the expression patterns of HSPs in yak skin for the first time, which suggests they may play different roles in yak hair follicle biology. Expand
Fibrocartilage embedding hair follicles on the skin of the knee of the camel ( Camelus dromedarius ) : an ideal structure for its comfort
  • 2016
The habitual pronation of the camel (Camelus dromedarius) aroused the curiosity to specially study the histological structure of the padded knee-cap area on which the animal rests its massive body.… Expand
Immunohistochemical studies on the poll gland of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) during the rutting season.
TLDR
The presence, location and degree of immunolocalization of microfilaments and intermediate filament systems: actin and cytokeratins (Cks) and also S100 protein were studied in the poll glands in sexually mature one-humped camels during the rutting season. Expand
