330-360 / 1000+ resultsresearch In brief
Pilomatricomas don't follow the usual hair follicle cell differentiation process.
research Ultrastructural characteristics of trichilemmal cysts: report of two cases
Trichilemmal cysts may form from hair follicle outer root sheath growth.
research Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
The study found 65 intermediate filament genes, including new keratins, and suggested updating keratin naming.
research The α-Fibrous Proteins of Epidermis**From the Departments of Dermatology and Orthopedic Research of the Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital Boston, Massachusetts 02114.
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 Pre-keratin isolated from epidermal microsomes
research Connective tissue sheath of hair follicle is a major source of dermal type I procollagen in human scalp
The hair follicle's connective tissue is a key source of a certain collagen in human scalp skin.
research A Study of Aggregation Structures and Tensile Properties of Hair Fibers
research Immunohistochemical demonstration of breast‐derived and/or carcinoma‐associated glycoproteins in normal skin appendages and their tumors
Antibodies help identify glycoproteins in normal skin and tumor cells.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Stabilizes Hemidesmosomes in Keratinocytes
Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for keeping skin cell attachment structures stable.
research Spider joint hair sensilla: adaptation to proprioreceptive stimulation
Spider joint hair sensilla are adapted to sense movement during walking.
research The Histology of Keratin Fibers
research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research Rippled‐pattern trichomatricoma
A unique hair tumor with a rippled pattern was identified, showing incomplete differentiation and unusual cell arrangements.
research Adipocytic Progenitor Cells Give Rise to Pathogenic Myofibroblasts: Adipocyte-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Its Emerging Role in Fibrosis in Multiple Organs
Targeting adipocyte-to-mesenchymal transition could help treat fibrosis.
research The organization of the keratin I and II gene clusters in placental mammals and marsupials show a striking similarity
Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research Structure and site of expression of a murine type II hair keratin
A specific type II hair keratin was identified and found in hair cortex and tongue cells.
research Follicle architecture and innervation of functionally distinct rat vibrissae
Rat vibrissae structure relates to their sensory function.
research 1412 “Telescope model” for coordinated organ morphogenesis and stem cell formation
Developing hair follicles form from ring-shaped patterns, with future stem cells originating from the outer ring, not the upper layers, as previously thought.
research IGF1- and BM-MSC-incorporating collagen-chitosan scaffolds promote wound healing and hair follicle regeneration.
Adding insulin-like growth factor 1 and bone marrow-derived stem cells to a collagen-chitosan scaffold helps wounds heal faster and regrows hair follicles.
research Trichohyalin: A structural protein of hair, tongue, nail, and epidermis
research Some electron microscope observations on hardening in the human hair follicle
The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.
research Coexisting trichorrhexis nodosa and pili annulati: a case report of hair shaft abnormalities in a syrian family
A 23-year-old Syrian woman has two rare hair disorders, and avoiding hair treatments plus using vitamins and minoxidil may help.
research AP-1 and TGFß cooperativity drives non-canonical Hedgehog signaling in resistant basal cell carcinoma
AP-1 and TGFß work together to drive resistance in basal cell carcinoma, suggesting new treatment options.
research Heterotypic cell contacts and basal lamina morphology during hair follicle development in the mouse: a light, scanning, and electron microscopic study at the site of tissue interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
research An Overview on Functional and Structural Properties of Monomeric and Multimeric β-Thymosin in Invertebrates
β-thymosin in invertebrates is more complex and diverse than in vertebrates.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Curly hair may be caused by a muscle contraction, and muscle relaxants might help treat it.
research Matriptase Expression and Zymogen Activation in Human Pilosebaceous Unit
Matriptase is highly active in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially during hair growth phases.
research Bikunin, a Serine Protease Inhibitor, is Present on the Cell Boundary of Epidermis
Bikunin is found on the cell boundaries of certain skin layers and may help regulate skin and hair functions.
