Trichohyalin, a hair follicle protein, has a part with repeating patterns of 23 amino acids.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Efficacy and Side Effects of Drugs Commonly Used for the Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Different drugs for prostate-related urinary symptoms work but have various side effects, and treatment should be tailored to the individual.
research A novel immune competent murine hypertrophic scar contracture model: A tool to elucidate disease mechanism and develop new therapies
The model helps understand scar contraction and develop new treatments.
research Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain in men: aetiology, diagnosis and management1
Chronic pelvic pain in men is common, but its cause is unknown and treatments are often ineffective.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Melanocortins in fibroblast biology – current update and future perspective for dermatology
α-MSH may help treat skin inflammation and fibrosis.
research Experimental Modulation of the Differentiated Phenotype of Keratinocytes from Epidermis and Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath and Matrix Cells
ORS and hair matrix cells balance growth and differentiation better than normal keratinocytes, with human dermal fibroblasts crucial for proper differentiation.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research Exploring a biological tissue from atomic to macroscopic scale using synchrotron radiation: example of hair.
Hair has unevenly distributed proteins and lipids, with lipids mainly in the cuticle and proteins in the cortex and medulla.
research Parkinson's disease and skin
Parkinson's disease is linked to skin disorders and skin cells help in studying the disease.
research Isolation of intermediate filament assemblies from human hair follicles.
Researchers isolated and identified structural components of human hair follicles, providing a model for studying hair formation.
research Generalized trichorrhexis nodosa
The hair disorder was caused by abnormal protein formation, making hair easily damaged.
research Ejaculatory dysfunction in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms
Treatments for urinary symptoms often cause ejaculatory problems.
research Keratinization of sheath and calamus cells in developing and regenerating feathers
Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.
research Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels for full-thickness wound repairing and skin regeneration
Hyaluronic acid-based HA2 hydrogel helps heal skin wounds better with less scarring.
research Stem Cells in Dermatology and Anti-aging Care of the Skin
Using defensins to activate stem cells may improve skin aging signs without causing inflammation.
research Cognitive and mood side effects of lower urinary tract medication
Some medications for bladder problems can cause memory issues or mood changes, and doctors should monitor these side effects.
