PEG and keratin scaffolds can effectively deliver protein drugs by controlling release based on pH levels.
research Ha 1 and Ha 4-Trichocytic Cytokeratin Subunits Expression during Hair Development in Rat Embryonal Skin
Trichocytic cytokeratin expression starts earlier in whiskers than in body hair during rat embryo development.
research Cytokeratins as Markers of Follicular Differentiation
TB and BCC tumors show similar follicular differentiation patterns.
research Expression of Basement Membrane Proteins and Interstitial Collagens in Dermal Papillae of Human Hair Follicles
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Individual Human Hair Keratin Rapidly Extracted Through the Advanced Oxidation Process and Their Hemostatic and Wound Healing Evaluations
The new method extracts keratin from hair faster and better, and the resulting product improves blood clotting and wound healing, with potential for personalized treatments.
research 591 Chromatin architectural protein CTCF regulates terminal keratinocyte differentiation in the developing epidermis and hair follicles
CTCF protein is essential for skin and hair follicle development in mice.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Human KAP Genes, Only the Half of it? Extensive Size Polymorphisms in Hair Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
KAP genes show significant genetic variability, but its impact on hair traits is unclear.
