research From structural resilience to cell specification — Intermediate filaments as regulators of cell fate
Intermediate filaments are crucial for cell differentiation and stem cell function.
research Self-Assembly of Solubilized Human Hair Keratins
Human hair keratins can form stable nanofiber networks that might help in tissue regeneration.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Function and interactions of the Ysc84/SH3yl1 family of actin- and lipid-binding proteins
The Ysc84/SH3yl1 protein family is important for cell movement and the process of taking in materials by interacting with actin and cell membranes.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Understanding the biochemical properties of human hair keratins : self-assembly potential and cell response
Human hair keratins can self-assemble and support cell growth, useful for biomedical applications.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Ultrastructural immunolocalization of involucrin in the medulla and inner root sheath of the human hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Ultrastructural Characteristics of Neonate Scalp Hair
Neonate scalp hair is thinner, lacks a medulla, and has smaller follicles compared to adult hair.
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
Sheet formation is key to macrofibril structure differences in wool.
research The physical and chemical disruption of human hair after bleaching – studies by transmission electron microscopy and redox proteomics
Bleaching hair causes severe structural and chemical damage, including protein loss and oxidation.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research Bidirectional binding property of high glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated protein contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research Distinguishing Mouse Strains by Proteomic Analysis of Pelage Hair
Proteomic analysis can identify genetic differences in mouse hair, helping understand hair defects and variations.

Spiny keratoderma may be ectopic hair formation on palms and soles.
research Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
research The swelling behaviour of hair studied through the structural change of keratin protein during the permanent waving treatment
Hair structure changes immediately during perm treatment, with initial damage partially restored later.
research Identification of Novel Mutations in Basic Hair Keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in Monilethrix: Implications for Protein Structure and Clinical Phenotype
New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
research Human hair keratin-associated proteins: Sequence regularities and structural implications
Keratin-associated proteins help link filaments and affect keratin's strength.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
