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 Crystalline Cataract and Uncombable Hair
The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.
research The sheep KAP8-2 gene, a new KAP8 family member that is absent in humans
Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
research Molecular characterization of caprineKRTAP13-3in Liaoning cashmere goat in China
The genetic variation in the KAP13-3 gene may affect cashmere fiber traits in Liaoning goats.
research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research EFFECTS OF HUMAN HAIR KERATIN ALKYLATION ON GROWTH FACTOR DELIVERY AND CELLULAR RESPONSE: IMPLICATIONS IN BONE REGENERATION
Alkylated keratin from human hair can help deliver growth factors for bone healing.

The agouti gene may help understand and treat obesity.
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 Cysteine and Glutamine level in hair shaft fractures patients
Cysteine strengthens hair, and glutamine fuels hair growth.
research Chemoprevention of doxorubicin-induced alopecia in mice by dietary administration of l-cystine and vitamin B6
L-cystine and vitamin B6 at high doses prevented hair loss in mice treated with a chemotherapy drug.
research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Effectiveness of fractional erbium–YAG laser, microneedling, platelet-rich plasma in localized stable vitiligo patients: randomized clinical trial
