930-960 / 1000+ resultsresearch Growth Hormone Operates as a Neuroendocrine Regulator of Human Hair Growth Ex Vivo
Growth hormone is important for regulating human hair growth.
research Cultured Human Foreskin as a Model System for Evaluating Ionizing Radiation-Induced Skin Injury
Human foreskin does not show aging or reduced cell growth after radiation, and H2A.J is not a good marker for radiation-induced aging.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Keratin Promotes Differentiation of Keratinocytes Seeded on Collagen/Keratin Hydrogels
Keratin helps skin cells mature when added to a collagen mix, which could be important for skin and hair health.
research Comparative genomics analyses of alpha-keratins reveal insights into evolutionary adaptation of marine mammals
Marine mammals lost many α-keratin genes, aiding their adaptation to aquatic life by becoming hairless.
research Three-dimensional modelling of interchain sequence similarities and differences in the coiled-coil segments of keratin intermediate filament heterodimers highlight features important in assembly
Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.
research Self-consistent field theory for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments' elasticity is influenced by their terminal domains and surrounding medium.
