Research
180-210 / 1000+ results research A histochemical examination of the epidermis of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina L.) during the telogen stage of hair growth
The southern elephant seal's skin layer helps waterproof the skin by being tightly connected to hair shafts.
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 Characterization of the exocuticle a‐layer proteins of wool
The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
research Hair Pores Caused by Surfactants via the Cell Membrane Complex and a Prevention Strategy through the Use of Cuticle Sealing
Surfactants damage hair, but sealing the cuticle can prevent this.
research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
HAT-L4 is crucial for preventing body fluid loss by maintaining skin barrier integrity.
research Degradation of Hair Surface: Importance of 18-MEA and Epicuticle
18-MEA and cationic surfactants can restore and maintain hair's hydrophobic nature, improving its beauty and feel.
research Chiton integument: Ultrastructure of the sensory hairs of Mopalia muscosa (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Delayed epidermal permeability barrier formation and hair follicle aberrations in Inv-Cldn6 mice
Mice with too much Claudin-6 have skin barrier problems and abnormal hair growth.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Murine Epidermal Ceramide Synthase 4 Is a Key Regulator of Skin Barrier Homeostasis
Ceramide Synthase 4 is crucial for healthy skin barrier function.
research Keratinisation status and cytokeratins of the human Meibomian gland epithelium
Hyper-keratinisation in Meibomian glands contributes to gland dysfunction.
research Human stratum corneum proteomics reveals cross‐linking of a broad spectrum of proteins in cornified envelopes
A wide range of proteins are integrated into the skin's protective layer.
research Mechanically Robust MXene‐Metal Polyphenol Network Hybrid Interfaces for Multifunctional Protection of Keratin Fibers
The new coating protects and strengthens hair while improving its properties.
research Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research 732 Ceramide synthase 4 controls epidermal lipid composition and barrier function
Ceramide synthase 4 is essential for maintaining skin barrier health.
research Ultrastructure of the contrasting types of keratinization seen in the tail epidermis of the laboratory mouseMus musculus
Mouse tail skin has different keratinization near hair follicles and scales.
research Loss of keratin 10 is accompanied by increased sebocyte proliferation and differentiation
Without keratin 10, there's more growth and development of oil-producing skin cells.
research Effects of environmental humidity on epidermal physiology
Low humidity harms skin health by damaging the skin barrier and increasing inflammation.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research The kinetics of moisture sorption by hair
Hair absorbs moisture differently based on its structure and treatment, with changes occurring at 30% humidity.
research Solubility of Foreign Molecules in Stratum Corneum Brick and Mortar Structure
Solubility in skin changes with hydration, affecting chemical absorption.
research Differential Expression of Genes Encoding a Cysteine-Rich Keratin Family in the Hair Cuticle
research 371 Hair follicles are critical modulators of skin barrier function
Hair follicles are crucial for maintaining skin barrier function.
research Integral hair lipid in human hair follicle
Human hair has a protective lipid layer that can be damaged by moisture and treatments, affecting hair growth and health.
research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research 320 Desmoglein 3-mediated mechanical transadhesion controls epithelial stem cell quiescence
Desmoglein 3 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and maintaining their special properties.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
