300-330 / 1000+ resultsresearch Known and Unknown Features of Hair Cuticle Structure: A Brief Review
The hair cuticle is made of tough proteins that protect the hair, but more research is needed to fully understand its structure.
research Formation of the cornified envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
research A highly resistant structure between the cuticle and the cortex of human hair. II. CARB, a penetration barrier
CARB is a strong barrier in human hair that prevents dye penetration.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research Cyclic Alopecia and Abnormal Epidermal Cornification in Zdhhc13 -Deficient Mice Reveal the Importance of Palmitoylation in Hair and Skin Differentiation
The enzyme DHHC13 is essential for healthy hair and skin, and its deficiency leads to hair loss and skin problems.
research 1299 Live imaging of keratin network in stratum granulosum reveals dynamic cytoskeletal changes during cornification in mice in vivo
The keratin network in mouse skin changes during cornification and affects the skin's protective barrier.
research Cuticle damage and the tensile properties of human hair
Cuticle damage doesn't affect hair's tensile strength; the cortex is responsible for it.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Keratinization of sheath and calamus cells in developing and regenerating feathers
Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.
research Tight junctions form a barrier in porcine hair follicles
Tight junctions create a barrier in pig hair follicles that controls what can enter the skin.
research Failure of intercellular adhesion in hair fibers with regard to hair condition and strain conditions
Hair breaks differently when wet or dry and is affected by its condition and treatments like perms and bleaching.
research Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research The structure of the cornified claw sheath in the domesticated cat (Felis catus): implications for the claw‐shedding mechanism and the evolution of cornified digital end organs
Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.
research Decision letter: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.
research Epithelial barrier function: assembly and structural features of the cornified cell envelope
The cornified cell envelope forms a protective barrier in skin and hair, using specific proteins and lipids to maintain effectiveness.
research Morphological analyses in fragility of pili torti with Björnstad syndrome
Pili torti hair is fragile due to loose keratin filaments and weak disulfide bonds.

research Structural analysis of the outermost hair surface using TOF-SIMS with gas cluster ion beam sputtering
The hair's outermost surface has multiple layers of lipids and proteins.
research The cell membrane complex: Three related but different cellular cohesion components of mammalian hair fibers
The cell membrane complex in mammalian hair has three distinct types with different structures and chemical properties.
research Hoxc13 and homologs of mammalian hair keratins are required for the cornification of nuptial pads in Xenopus frogs
Hoxc13 and hair keratin are needed for forming rough skin on frog mating pads.
