Adding keratin to a mix of cow hair and plant-based plastic makes it stronger.
research Dietary supplementation with L-glutamine enhances immunity and reduces heat stress in Hanwoo steers under heat stress conditions
Adding L-glutamine to the diet of Hanwoo steers may boost their immune system and help them cope with heat.
research The expression of equine keratins K42 and K124 is restricted to the hoof epidermal lamellae of Equus caballus
K42 and K124 keratins are only found in horse hoof lamellae.
research Directed Expression of Keratin 16 to the Progenitor Basal Cells of Transgenic Mouse Skin Delays Skin Maturation
Keratin 16 delays skin maturation and affects skin and hair development in mice.
research Serological screening for coeliac disease in vitiligo and alopecia areata
Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.
research The compatibility of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry protein-solubilizing buffers with the droplet feeding method in fall armyworm larvae
Thymosin beta 4 protects cells from damage by blocking a harmful microRNA and boosting a protective gene.
research Platelet-rich plasma in alopecia areata: intradermal injection versus topical application with transepidermal delivery via either fractional carbon dioxide laser or microneedling
Injecting platelet-rich plasma or applying it with a laser or microneedling can treat hair loss effectively. The laser and microneedling methods cause less pain.
research COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN INTRALESIONAL INJECTION OF PLATELET RICH PLASMA AND INTRA LESIONAL TRIAMCINOLONE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ALOPECIA AREATA
Steroid injections are more effective than platelet rich plasma for treating patchy hair loss.

The research linked PLCD1 gene variants to the development of trichilemmal cysts.
research 477 Dietary fat- and obesity-sensitive dermal adipocyte PKCβ induction and inflammation cross-talk
Eating a lot of fat increases PKCβ and inflammation in skin fat cells, which affects skin and hair health.
research Hair Regrowth with Micrografts Enriched with Human Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Platelet-Rich Plasma
Using micrografts with stem cells and platelet-rich plasma can safely and effectively help regrow hair.
research A 32‐year‐old woman with arthralgias and severe hypotension
Aggressive immunosuppressive treatment improved a woman's severe heart condition linked to autoimmune disease.
research β1 Integrins with Individually Disrupted Cytoplasmic NPxY Motifs Are Embryonic Lethal but Partially Active in the Epidermis
Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.
research Expansion of the spectrum of ITGB6-related disorders to adolescent alopecia, dentogingival abnormalities and intellectual disability
A rare ITGB6 gene variant causes intellectual disability, hair loss, and dental issues.
research Canonical prolactin signaling and global mRNA expression in the skin of Holstein heifers carrying the SLICK1 allele of the prolactin receptor gene
The SLICK1 allele in Holstein heifers affects hair and immune traits without altering prolactin signaling.
research 1299 Live imaging of keratin network in stratum granulosum reveals dynamic cytoskeletal changes during cornification in mice in vivo
The keratin network in mouse skin changes during cornification and affects the skin's protective barrier.
research Pallister-Killian Syndrome
Pallister-Killian Syndrome is a complex genetic disorder requiring coordinated care and genetic counseling.
research Downregulation of mRNAs Encoding Keratin-Associated Proteins in the Tongue of Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
A high-fat diet may weaken tongue structure by reducing certain protein genes.
research Beta-trace protein in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and Guillain-Barré syndrome – clinical utilization and a new insight into pathophysiological mechanisms
Beta-trace protein may help diagnose and predict treatment response in certain nerve disorders.
