990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch Specific Citrullination Causes Assembly of a Globular S100A3 Homotetramer
A specific chemical change in the S100A3 protein leads to the formation of a four-part structure important for hair formation.
research Differentiation of the sebaceous gland
The exact molecular mechanisms of sebaceous gland function are still unclear.
research Mitochondrial Function in Murine Skin Epithelium Is Crucial for Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Interactions
Healthy mitochondria in skin cells are essential for proper hair growth and skin cell interaction in mice.
research Dynamic interplay between IL-1 and WNT pathways in regulating dermal adipocyte lineage cells during skin development and wound regeneration
IL-1 promotes fat cell growth in skin, while WNT inhibits it and encourages scar formation.
research TGFβ signaling regulates lipogenesis in human sebaceous glands cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
research A systematic method for the sensitive and specific determination of hair lipids in combination with chromatography
A new method accurately measures hair lipids, revealing individual differences.
research GRHL3 binding and enhancers rearrange as epidermal keratinocytes transition between functional states
GRHL3 is important for controlling gene activity in skin cells during different stages of their development.
research Hair Shaft Damage from Heat and Drying Time of Hair Dryer
Using a hair dryer at 15 cm with continuous motion causes less damage than natural drying.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
