Objective: The aim: To study the level of expression of type I, III collagen under conditions of traumatic damage to integumentary tissues and to develop quantitative criteria for collagen formation processes for choosing the volume of reconstruction of a wound defect.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Studies were performed for 62 victims. Clinical group 1 (n = 16) - patients with wound surface sizes of the body surface area, group 2 (n = 32) consisted of patients who received integumentary tissue defects due to or together with damage osteoarticular apparatus of the limb, group 3 (n = 14) - patients with combined trauma.
Results: Results: In the skin samples of patients of groups 1 and 2 of the affected groups, a statistically significant difference was established between the indicators of the relative accumulation area of type I, type III collagen (W = 675, p = 0.01 and W = 697, p = 0.03, respectively). In patients of groups 2 and 3, when analyzing relationships, a direct moderate strength was observed between the areas of collagen deposition of type I, type III (rs = 0.52 and 0.54). Collagen deposition coefficient (Кd) was used as a quantitative criterion for assessing the prognosis of the results of restoration of integumentary tissues according to the proposed scale, which made it possible to obtain postoperative complications in only 3.2 % of cases.
Conclusion: Conclusions: A positive treatment result taking into account the quantitative criterion (Kd) was obtained in 96.8 % of the examined patients.

Self-organized patterning of crocodile head scales by compressive folding.

Amniote integumentary appendages constitute a diverse group of micro-organs, including feathers, hair and scales. These structures typically develop as genetically controlled units, the spatial patterning of which emerges from a self-organized chemical Turing system with integrated mechanical feedback. The seemingly purely mechanical patterning of polygonal crocodile head scales provides an exception to this paradigm.

Article Synopsis
- The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) plays a vital role in transmitting facial sensory information, with its branches affecting sensory receptors in the face.
- This study examined the morphology of maxillary and mandibular canals in both modern and fossil species to understand their importance in the sensory biology of synapsids.
- Results revealed that synapsids evolved from complex, branched canal systems for enhanced tactile sensitivity to simpler canal structures, indicating a shift in tactile functions over time.
Decoding the impact of ageing and environment stressors on skin cell communication.

The integumentary system serves as a crucial protective barrier and is subject to complex signaling pathways that regulate its physiological functions. As the body's first line of defense, the skin is continuously exposed to environmental stressors, necessitating a robust network of signaling molecules to maintain homeostasis. Considering the main cellular components to be keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts, and fibrous components, collagen of various types, this review explores the intricate signaling mechanisms that govern skin integrity, focusing on key pathways involved in impacts of ageing and environment factors on skin health.

The integumentary system in animals serves as an important line of defence against physiological and mechanical external forces. Over time, integuments have evolved layered structures (scales, cuticle and skin) with high toughness and strength to resist damage and prevent wound expansion. While previous studies have examined their defensive performance under low-rate conditions, the failure response and damage resistance of these thin layers under dynamic biological puncture remain underexplored.

Because the earthworm tegument represents their first barrier against environmental aggressions, we hypothesised that substrate-induced changes in earthworm growth would also alter the morphology of this protective layer. Therefore, a histological and morphometric study was performed on Eisenia fetida specimens that have been grown in five different organic residues: cow manure, horse manure, grape marc, coffee grounds, and a mixture of coffee grounds and cooking oil. The results showed that, across all treatments, both cuticle and epidermis were significantly thicker in the pre-clitellar region than after the clitellum, attributed to the fact that the former region is responsible for breaking up the soil.
