990-1000 / 1000+ results research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research An ultrahigh-sulphur keratin gene of the human hair cuticle is located at 11q13 and cross-hybridizes with sequences at 11p15
research Genetic disorders of keratin: are scarring alopecias a sub-set?
Keratin mutations may cause scarring alopecia by damaging hair structure.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Identification of the C-terminal tail domain of AHF/trichohyalin as the critical site for modulation of the keratin filamentous meshwork in the keratinocyte
The C-terminal tail of AHF/trichohyalin is essential for organizing keratin filaments in keratinocytes.
research The hair shaft: normality, abnormality, and genetics
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing hair disorders, but clear definitions are needed for accurate genetic analysis.
research Recent advances in preparation and biomedical applications of keratin based biomaterials
Keratin-based biomaterials are promising for wound healing, drug delivery, and nerve regeneration due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility.
research Strategies for improved hair binding: Keratin fractions and the impact of cationic substructures
Certain treatments can increase protein binding to natural hair but are less effective on permed hair.
