research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co- option in the evolution of the hair follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research Histogenesis of keratoacanthoma: histochemical and immunohistochemical study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research A mutation in the type II hair keratin KRT86 gene in a Han family with monilethrix
A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Common genetic hair shaft abnormalities may be visualized by light and electron microscope
Genetic hair shaft abnormalities can be seen with microscopes and often affect scalp hair.
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 Smad4-dependent desmoglein-4 expression contributes to hair follicle integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Discoid lupus alopecia complicated by frontal fibrosing alopecia on a background of androgenetic alopecia
Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.
research Proteins observed in scalp hair from preschool children
Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research Identifying novel strategies for treating human hair loss disorders: Cyclosporine A suppresses the Wnt inhibitor, SFRP1, in the dermal papilla of human scalp hair follicles
Cyclosporine A may help treat hair loss by blocking a protein that inhibits hair growth.
research The genetics of hair shaft disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.
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 Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research Office Diagnosis of Hair Shaft Defects
The document explains how to identify different hair problems using a microscope.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Structural Abnormalities in the Hair of a Patient with a Novel Ribosomopathy
The patient's hair was thinner and had fewer lipids due to a genetic mutation.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Hair Disorders
Understanding normal hair growth and loss in children is key to diagnosing and treating hair disorders.
research An Investigation of Hair and its Keratin Associated Proteins using Advanced Light Microscopy
Advanced microscopy shows hair damage and keratin proteins' roles, aiding future cosmetic treatments.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
