research Nanomechanical characterization of human hair using nanoindentation and SEM
Human hair's strength and flexibility vary by ethnicity, damage, and treatment.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Wnt and Notch signaling pathway involved in wound healing by targeting c-Myc and Hes1 separately
Wnt and Notch signaling help wound healing by promoting cell growth and regulating cell differentiation.
research Targeting the Wnt pathways for therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.

The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
research Maternal PPARγ protects nursing neonates by suppressing the production of inflammatory milk
A mother's PPARγ is crucial for preventing harmful milk that can cause inflammation and growth problems in babies.
research Delineation of Matriptase Protein Expression by Enzymatic Gene Trapping Suggests Diverging Roles in Barrier Function, Hair Formation, and Squamous Cell Carcinogenesis
Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Epidermal Growth Factor as a Biologic Switch in Hair Growth Cycle
EGF controls hair growth by regulating hair follicles' growth phases.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
