research Revisiting the significance of keratin expression in complex epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Synthesis of porcine pCLCA2 protein during late differentiation of keratinocytes of epidermis and hair follicle inner root sheath
pCLCA2 protein may help maintain skin structure and function.
research Chemical bonds and hair behaviour—A review
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair's strength, especially when wet.

research A Human Hair Keratin Hydrogel Scaffold Enhances Median Nerve Regeneration in Nonhuman Primates: An Electrophysiological and Histological Study
Keratin hydrogel improves nerve regeneration and motor recovery.
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 859 Building a functional niche for hair follicle stem cells
Deleting the CRIF1 gene in mice disrupts skin and hair formation, certain proteins affect hair growth, a new compound may improve skin and hair health, blood cell-derived stem cells can create skin-like structures, and hair follicle stem cells come from embryonic cells needing specific signals for development.
research The effect of human hair keratin hydrogel on early cellular response to sciatic nerve injury in a rat model
Human hair keratin hydrogel may aid nerve repair better than traditional methods.

The mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene likely causes wavy hair in mice.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Dysfunction of keratinocyte adhesion
Keratinocyte adhesion problems can cause skin and hair disorders.
research Histologic Compatibility Investigation of Human-hair Keratin Art ificial Tendon Transplantation in the Muscle of Rabbits
Human-hair keratin artificial tendons are biocompatible and degrade well in rabbits.
research The Role of the Hairless (hr) Gene in the. Regulation of Hair Follicle Catagen Transformation
The hairless (hr) gene is essential for normal hair follicle function and its mutation leads to hair loss.
research Serial cultivation of human scalp hair follicle keratinocytes
A method was developed to grow millions of hair cells from a single hair for research and storage.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Termination Motif of KRT25 Causes Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
