990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
K6hf is found in specific parts of hair follicles, nails, and tongue, and is linked to hair growth and structure.
research Hairless-knockout piglets generated using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated-9 exhibit abnormalities in the skin and thymus
Pigs without the Hairless gene showed skin and thymus changes, useful for studying human hair disorders.
research A pure, monolayer culture of Merkel cells from sinus hair follicles of the rat
Adding fetal calf serum helps Merkel cells survive and change shape.
research Melanogenesis‐promoting effect of Cirsium japonicum flower extract in vitro and ex vivo
Cirsium japonicum flower extract increases melanin production and could help treat depigmentation conditions.
research Monilethrix: A Novel Mutation (Glu402Lys) in the Helix Termination Motif and the First Causative Mutation (Asn114Asp) in the Helix Initiation Motif of the Type II Hair Keratin hHb6
New mutations in hair keratin genes cause the rare hair disorder monilethrix.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research A human serum‐enriched medium formulation supports high viability and marker expression in primary melanocyte cultures from the outer root sheath and epidermis
A human serum-enriched medium effectively supports melanocyte growth and activity without using animal-derived supplements.
