research Proprietary Herbal Extract Downregulates the Gene Expression of Il-1 and #945; in HaCaT Cells: Possible Implications Against Nonscarring Alopecia
A herbal extract may help treat certain types of hair loss by reducing a specific gene's activity.
research Genetics of Alopecia
Different genes are linked to various types of hair loss.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research Organization of microfibrils in keratin fibers studied by X-ray scattering
The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.
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.
research Keratinization of sheath and calamus cells in developing and regenerating feathers
Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.
research Molecular changes in skin predict predisposition to breast cancer
Skin changes can indicate a risk for breast cancer.
research KRT17 promotes endometrial cancer cell migration as well as angiogenesis by regulating HIF-1α/VEGF pathway
KRT17 may be a new target for endometrial cancer treatment because it helps cancer cells move and form new blood vessels.
research The structure of human trichohyalin. Potential multiple roles as a functional EF-hand-like calcium-binding protein, a cornified cell envelope precursor, and an intermediate filament-associated (cross-linking) protein
Trichohyalin helps in hair and skin cell structure and function by binding calcium and linking proteins.
research Serendipity in Trichology
Accidental findings have led to new hair treatment discoveries, like using blood pressure and diabetes medications for hair loss and unwanted hair.

research Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Exacerbation of alopecia areata during pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin therapy, possibly due to the collapse of hair follicle immune privilege
A woman's hair loss worsened after starting hepatitis C treatment due to immune changes in her hair follicles.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
