research Insights on the Hair Keratin Structure Under Different Drying Conditions
Drying hair with a microfiber towel better maintains hair strength and structure than using a cotton towel or blow-drier.
research Properties of Partially Extracted Hairs and their Degradability by Proteases
Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD determination of dansyl amino acids in chemically treated human hair
A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Keratins and disease at a glance
Keratins are crucial for tissue strength, and mutations in keratin genes can lead to various diseases, highlighting the need for targeted therapies.
research The molecular basis of human keratin disorders
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Initiation Motif of the Keratin K71 Gene Underlies Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis with Woolly Hair Caused by a Mutation in the Keratin 25 Gene Expressed in Hair Follicles
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.
research Vibrissa hair bulge houses two populations of skin epithelial stem cells distinct by their keratin profile
There are two types of stem cells in rodent hair follicles, each with different keratin proteins.
research An unexpected role for keratin 10 end domains in susceptibility to skin cancer
Keratin 10 end domains may increase skin cancer risk by reducing cell death.
research Complete Structure of an Epithelial Keratin Dimer: Implications for Intermediate Filament Assembly
The study revealed the detailed structure of a keratin dimer, aiding understanding of how intermediate filament proteins function.
research Keratin intermediate filaments in the colon: guardians of epithelial homeostasis
Keratin proteins are essential for keeping the cells in the human colon healthy and stable.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research Keratins 6, 16, and 17 in Health and Disease: A Summary of Recent Findings
Keratins 6, 16, and 17 increase in damaged or diseased skin and may help diagnose skin issues.
research A Novel Mouse Type I Intermediate Filament Gene, Keratin 17n (K17n), Exhibits Preferred Expression in Nail Tissue
A new mouse gene, Keratin 17n, is mainly found in nail tissue and may explain why mice without Keratin 17 don't have nail issues.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research Autosomal Recessive Transmission of a Rare KRT74 Variant Causes Hair and Nail Ectodermal Dysplasia: Allelism with Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A rare gene variant causes hair and nail issues in a family.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Proteomic Characterization of Damaged Single Hairs Recovered after an Explosion for Protein-Based Human Identification
Explosions don't stop hair proteins from being used to identify people.
research Proteins as Hair Styling Agents
Proteins like BSA and keratin can effectively style hair and protect it, offering eco-friendly alternatives to chemical products.
research Omics for Precious Rare Biosamples: Characterization of Ancient Human Hair by a Proteomic Approach
The study developed a method to analyze ancient hair proteins using very small samples.
research Correction of Hair Shaft Defects through Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Krt75
Using special RNA to target a mutant gene fixed hair problems in mice.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Advances in molecular pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa: Dysregulated keratins and ECM signaling
Recent findings suggest that genetic factors, immune system issues, and skin cell defects might contribute to the development of hidradenitis suppurativa.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins
The document concludes that cosmetics need biocompatible, eco-friendly ingredients due to aging populations and demand for effective products.
research Effects of ultraviolet B radiation on physicochemical properties of human hair shaft
UVB radiation changes the chemical makeup and dries out human hair but doesn't alter its appearance or texture.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
