research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Antigens Targeted by the Anti-Hair Follicle Immune Response
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss, linked to specific hair follicle antigens and genetic factors.
research Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Avian Reticulate Scales Implies the Evo–Devo Novelty of Skin Appendages in Foot Sole
Bird foot scales develop differently and can repair but not fully regenerate due to the lack of specialized stem cell areas.
research Dermo‐epidermal interactions in reptilian scales: Speculations on the evolution of scales, feathers, and hairs
Reptilian scales, feathers, and hairs evolved from changes in skin cell interactions.
research Isolation and characterization of genomic clones of human sequences presumably coding for hair cysteine-rich proteins
A new protein linked to hair strength was identified, aiding in understanding brittle hair conditions.
research Pax9 is required for filiform papilla development and suppresses skin-specific differentiation of the mammalian tongue epithelium
Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.
research Proteome Analysis of Human Hair Shaft
Human hair contains many proteins, with some being highly abundant and modified.
research Common causes of paediatric alopecia
Hair loss in children is often caused by scalp infections, immune disorders, hair pulling, stress, and requires careful treatment due to emotional effects.
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 Ultrastructural Localization of Hair Keratins in Human Scalp Hair Shafts as Revealed by Rapid-Freezing Immunocytochemistry.
Hair keratins are mainly on macrofibrils in the cortex and in the endocuticle in the cuticle.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Keratin disorders: from gene to therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Characterization of a 190-Kilobase Pair Domain of Human Type I Hair Keratin Genes
The 190-kbp domain contains all human type I hair keratin genes, showing their organization and evolution.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research A curated catalog of canine and equine keratin genes
61 functional keratin genes were identified in dogs and horses, leading to updated gene annotations.
