540-570 / 1000+ resultsresearch Fibroblast bioelectric signaling drives hair growth
Fibroblast bioelectric signaling can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.
research Animal models of human skin disease
Mutations in certain skin proteins cause severe skin issues, while others have limited effects, highlighting the need to understand these proteins for better treatments.
research A gene for pachyonychia congenita is closely linked to the keratin gene cluster on 17q12-q21.
Pachyonychia congenita is linked to a keratin gene on chromosome 17.
research Human Hair Growth Deficiency Is Linked to a Genetic Defect in the Phospholipase Gene LIPH
A genetic mutation in the LIPH gene causes hair loss and growth defects.
research Proteomic Profiling of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia Reveals Role of Humoral Immune Response Pathway and Metabolic Dysregulation
CCCA involves immune response and metabolism issues, suggesting new treatment options.
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.
research Planar cell polarity-dependent and independent functions in the emergence of tissue-scale hair follicle patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
research A Novel Connexin 26 Mutation in a Patient Diagnosed with Keratitis–Ichthyosis–Deafness Syndrome
A new mutation in the Connexin 26 gene was found in a patient with KID syndrome, expanding the known disorders linked to this gene.
research Epimorphin and Epithelial Morphogenesis
Epimorphin helps shape and develop epithelial cells, like those in hair follicles.
research Protein Kinase Cε, Which Is Linked to Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas, Stimulates Rapid Turnover of Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cells
PKC ε increases hair follicle stem cell turnover and may raise skin cancer risk.
research Dicer- and Bulge Stem Cell-Dependent MicroRNAs During Induced Anagen Hair Follicle Development
MicroRNAs are important for hair growth regulation, with Dicer being crucial and Tarbp2 less significant.
research The structure of human trichohyalin. Potential multiple roles as a functional EF-hand-like calcium-binding protein, a cornified cell envelope precursor, and an intermediate filament-associated (cross-linking) protein
Trichohyalin helps in hair and skin cell structure and function by binding calcium and linking proteins.
research Preparation of scaffolds from human hair proteins for tissue-engineering applications
Human hair proteins can be used to create scaffolds that support cell growth for tissue engineering.
research Ginkgolide B and bilobalide promote the growth and increase β‐catenin expression in hair follicle dermal papilla cells of American minks
Ginkgolide B and bilobalide help mink hair grow by making skin cells healthier and boosting a key growth protein.
research Hair Follicle Keratins
Hair growth can be influenced by manipulating keratin and growth factor genes.
research Annotation of sheep keratin intermediate filament genes and their patterns of expression
Sheep have 17 keratin genes, similar to humans, but with different expression patterns affecting wool and hair.
research Toll-like Receptor 3 Agonist, Polyinosinic-polycytidylic Acid, Upregulates Carbonic Anhydrase II in Human Keratinocytes
A substance called poly(I:C) increases a protein called carbonic anhydrase II in skin cells, which might help with skin defense and healing.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research Differential Expression of Type I Hair Keratins
research Expression of apoptosis-related genes in the mouse skin during the first postnatal catagen stage, focused on localization of Bnip3L and caspase-12
The research found changes in gene expression related to cell death in mouse skin that help understand hair follicle development and skin health.
research Pyruvate Kinase M2 Promotes Hair Regeneration by Connecting Metabolic and Wnt//β-Catenin Signaling
Pyruvate Kinase M2 helps hair grow by linking energy production and a key hair growth pathway.
