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 Epidermolysis bullosa simplex: a paradigm for disorders of tissue fragility
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex causes easily blistered skin due to faulty skin cell proteins, leading to new treatment ideas.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Hard alpha-keratin degradation inside a tissue under high flux X-ray synchrotron micro-beam: A multi-scale time-resolved study
High flux X-ray beams quickly damage the structure of human hair.
research A Raman spectroscopy investigation of the resilience of hair cuticular scales under uniaxial stress
Hair cuticles remain stable and resilient under stress due to strong protein content and crosslinking.

A new protein, mK6irs, is found in specific hair layers and may help understand hair growth and diseases.
research Keratins 6, 16, and 17 in Health and Disease: A Summary of Recent Findings
Keratins 6, 16, and 17 increase in damaged or diseased skin and may help diagnose skin issues.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research Gene expression profile of human follicle dermal papilla cells in response to Camellia japonica phytoplacenta extract
Camellia japonica extract may improve scalp health and promote hair growth.
research Matricellular Proteins in the Homeostasis, Regeneration, and Aging of Skin
Special proteins are important for skin balance, healing, and aging, and affect skin stem cells.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Cysteine and Glutamine level in hair shaft fractures patients
Cysteine strengthens hair, and glutamine fuels hair growth.
research Keratins in health and cancer: more than mere epithelial cell markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an α-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis
A mutation in the KRT75 gene causes frizzle feathers in chickens.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research KERATINS AND SKIN DISORDERS
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Cryogelation of human hair keratins
Human hair keratins can be turned into useful 3D biomedical scaffolds through a freeze-thaw process.

research Molecular basis of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: an update
Mutations in specific genes disrupt development of sweat glands, teeth, hair, skin, and nails in HED.
research Age-Related Changes in Female Scalp Dermal Sheath and Dermal Fibroblasts: How the Hair Follicle Environment Impacts Hair Aging
Aging causes changes in the scalp that can affect hair growth and lead to older-looking hair in women.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research The story of when kidneys fail and the contribution of Air Vice-Marshal Sir Ralph Jackson
