research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Analysis of Lipids in the Medulla of Japanese Hair and Their Function
Lipids in Japanese hair help maintain glossiness and structure.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Abstracts
New treatments and diagnostic methods for various animal skin conditions showed promising results.
research Ultrastructural Characteristics of Neonate Scalp Hair
Neonate scalp hair is thinner, lacks a medulla, and has smaller follicles compared to adult hair.
research Cutaneous Scarring: Basic Science, Current Treatments, and Future Directions
New effective scar treatments are urgently needed due to the current options' limited success.
research Elemental hair analysis: A review of procedures and applications
Hair elemental analysis could be useful for health and exposure assessment but requires more standardization and research.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Topical minoxidil helps treat female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research Properties of Partially Extracted Hairs and their Degradability by Proteases
Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.
research Expression of novel keratin associated protein 5 genes in the cuticle layer of human hair follicles
The study found nine new hair protein genes in human hair follicles.
research Tailored Effects of Plasma-Activated Water on Hair Structure Through Comparative Analysis of Nitrate-Rich and Peroxide-Rich Formulations Across Different Hair Types
Peroxide-rich plasma-activated water is gentler on hair than nitrate-rich formulations.

A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy as a Tool for the Investigation of Skin Drug Delivery Systems and Diagnosis of Skin Disorders
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.
research A Novel Type II Cytokeratin, mK6irs, is Expressed in the Huxley and Henle Layers of the Mouse Inner Root Sheath
A new protein, mK6irs, is found in specific hair layers and may help understand hair growth and diseases.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.
research Hair Restoration Surgery: Hair Transplantation and Micrografting
Hair transplantation and micrografting, used for baldness, involve moving hair follicles from hair-rich to bald areas, requiring careful procedure and post-care for success.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Structural changes in trichocyte keratin intermediate filaments during keratinization
Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
