The biology of skin and hair is complex and not fully understood.
research Integral Lipid in Human Hair Follicle
The lipid in human hair follicles acts as a barrier, similar to the skin's lipid layer.
research Dynamic ultrastructural changes of the connective tissue sheath of human hair follicles during hair cycle
The connective tissue around hair follicles changes structure throughout the hair cycle.
research Characterization of sciellin, a precursor to the cornified envelope of human keratinocytes
Sciellin is a protein that helps form protective layers in skin, hair, and nails.
research Structural features and sites of expression of a new murine 65 kD and 48 kD hair-related keratin pair, associated with a special type of parakeratotic epithelial differentiation
A new pair of mouse keratins, 65 kD and 48 kD, are found in specific skin areas and are linked to a unique skin differentiation type.
research Trichohyalin: A structural protein of hair, tongue, nail, and epidermis
research The surface and internal features of pubic hair: A comparative study with those of scalp hair
Pubic hair has a thicker, more protective outer layer than scalp hair, possibly due to evolution.
research Different keratin polypeptides in epidermis and other epithelia of human skin: a specific cytokeratin of molecular weight 46,000 in epithelia of the pilosebaceous tract and basal cell epitheliomas.
Basal-cell epitheliomas and the pilosebaceous tract share a unique keratin, distinguishing them from other skin areas.
research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells (Flügelzellen) of the Human Hair Follicle
A new keratin, hK6irs1, is found in all layers of the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research Morphological and histological observations on the hair brush of Endoclita vietnamensis (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae)
The study identifies the pheromone gland's location and structure in Endoclita vietnamensis, aiding future pest control methods.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research Trichilemmoma.Cell biology of the normal human outer root sheath.
The outer root sheath in hair follicles changes during growth, with different keratinization processes in its layers.
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research The stratum corneum barrier: impaired function in relation to associated lipids and proteins
The skin's outer layer relies on lipids and proteins to protect against damage.
research The Story of the Finest Armor: Developmental Aspects of Reptile Skin
Reptile skin protects and prevents water loss, helping them adapt to land.
research Epithelial skirt and bulge of human facial vellus hair follicles and and associated Merkel cell-nerve complex
Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.
research Immunoperoxidase anti-keratin staining of epidermal and pilar cysts
Epidermal cysts come from the skin, while pilar cysts come from hair follicles.
research K6irs1, K6irs2, K6irs3, and K6irs4 Represent the Inner-Root-Sheath-Specific Type II Epithelial Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle1
Four specific keratins in hair follicles help understand hair structure and function.
research Colocalization of Cystatin M/E and its Target Proteases Suggests a Role in Terminal Differentiation of Human Hair Follicle and Nail
Cystatin M/E helps in the final stages of hair and nail formation by controlling certain enzymes.
research Skin structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
