research Coils & Curls: A Mathematical Tapestry of Black Hair
Black hair's diversity in patterns and textures is influenced by follicle shape and keratin, and it holds cultural, artistic, and mathematical significance.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Alopecia areata susceptibility variant identified by MHC risk haplotype sequencing reproduces symptomatic patched hair loss in mice
A gene variant causes patched hair loss in mice, similar to alopecia areata in humans.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research The Proteins of Hair and Other Hard α-Keratins
research Vertebral epidermal transamidases
Transamidases are present in the epidermis but their exact role is unclear.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
Perming significantly changes hair's molecular structure, while shampoo and conditioner do not.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research Poster presentationsSG11 KRT14 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants beyond epidermolysis bullosa: dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis
KRT14 gene variants cause dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, affecting nails, teeth, and hair.
research Clinical Snippets
Razor bumps are linked to a genetic variant, misoprostol helps erythromelalgia pain, steroid ointments don't affect skin rhythms, and certain antibodies are common in localized scleroderma.
research Alopecia in a Novel Mouse Model RCO3 Is Caused by mK6irs1 Deficiency
A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.

research Age-associated thin hair displays molecular, structural and mechanical characteristic changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis of Reconstructive Hair Fibers.
All five hair fiber products improved appearance but didn't stick to completely bald areas.
research KRT17: A Key Driver of Cancer Therapy Resistance and Emerging Therapeutic Target
Targeting Keratin 17 may help overcome cancer therapy resistance.
research Targeting olfactory receptor OR2AT4: An innovative aptamer-based treatment for hair growth promotion
A new treatment using a DNA aptamer can promote hair growth by targeting a specific receptor.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Termination Motif of KRT25 Causes Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
