research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research How a Bird Gets Its Feathers: Insights from Chromatin Looping
Feather patterns are influenced by enhancers and chromatin looping, and the structure of protein complexes important for hair growth has been detailed.
research Cutaneous features of myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2: Implication of premature aging and vitamin D homeostasis
Patients with myotonic dystrophy often have skin problems that suggest early aging and vitamin D issues, and the severity of these problems is linked to their genetic condition and vitamin D levels.
research Electrophoretic analysis of human hair keratins
Family members have similar hair protein patterns, which could be useful for genetic studies.
research MHC Class I-Like MILL Molecules Are β2-Microglobulin-Associated, GPI-Anchored Glycoproteins That Do Not Require TAP for Cell Surface Expression
MILL molecules are unique immune proteins in mice that don't need TAP to appear on cell surfaces.
research Linking chromatin dynamics, cell fate plasticity, and tissue homeostasis in adult mouse hair follicle stem cells
Mouse hair follicle stem cells have a flexible chromatin state that supports skin health and hair growth.
research Preparation of scaffolds from human hair proteins for tissue-engineering applications
Human hair proteins can be used to create scaffolds that support cell growth for tissue engineering.
research The Viscoelastic Properties of Chemically Modified alpha-Keratins in Human Hair
Chemical modifications can alter hair's stability and flexibility, with hydrophobic interactions helping maintain structure in humid conditions.

research Observation of cultured amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles by atomic force microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
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 Increased expression of keratin 16 causes anomalies in cytoarchitecture and keratinization in transgenic mouse skin.
Too much keratin 16 in mice skin causes abnormal skin thickening and structure.

Scientists identified and cloned specific keratin proteins in mouse hair.
research HAIR KERATINIZATION IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
Understanding intermediate filaments helps explain hair health and related diseases.
research Keratinocytes maintain compartmentalization between dermal papilla and fibroblasts in 3D heterotypic tri‐cultures
Keratinocytes help keep hair follicle cells and skin cells separate in 3D cultures, which is important for hair growth research.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Activating an adaptive immune response from a hydrogel scaffold imparts regenerative wound healing
A special gel scaffold was made that speeds up wound healing and skin regeneration, even though it breaks down faster than expected.
research MOF-mediated Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation Governs Mitochondrial and Ciliary Functions By Controlling Gene Promoters
MOF controls skin development by regulating genes for mitochondria and cilia.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.
research Myodegeneration in EDA-A2 Transgenic Mice Is Prevented by XEDAR Deficiency
XEDAR deficiency prevents muscle degeneration in EDA-A2 transgenic mice.
research Developmental and evolutionary comparative analysis of a regulatory landscape in mouse and chicken
Gene regulation evolved differently in mouse and chicken skin, but remained stable in their trunks.
