A new method quickly extracts and identifies proteins from hair and other keratin sources.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Loss of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Alopecia Hair Follicles
Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.
research Plants Producing Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins in Traditional Medicine
Some plants used in traditional medicine may help treat cancer because they contain proteins that can inactivate ribosomes.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Keratinocyte-derived follistatin regulates epidermal homeostasis and wound repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.
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 Analysis of hidradenitis suppurativa–linked mutations in four genes and the effects of PSEN1-P242LfsX11 on cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages
The document concludes that certain mutations may contribute to the inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa and suggests that targeting TNFα could be a treatment strategy.
