research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research Cashmere growth control in Liaoning cashmere goat by ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen-like protein 2 and decorin genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research The effect of proteolytic enzymes on hair follicles of transgenic mice expressing the lac Z‐protein in cells of the bulge region
Proteolytic enzymes damage hair follicles by detaching stem cells.
research Expression of lipid-protein gene PLP2 in Liaoning cashmere goat
The PLP2 gene affects cashmere fiber quality in goats and is linked to hair growth and loss.
research Involucrin, but not filaggrin and Kdap mRNA, expression is downregulated in 3-D cultures of intact rat hair bulbs after calcium stimulation
Calcium reduces involucrin in rat hair bulbs but doesn't affect filaggrin and Kdap.
research Characteristic Localization of Neuronatin in Rat Testis, Hair Follicle, Tongue, and Pancreas
Neuronatin is found in specific cells within rat testis, hair follicles, tongue, and pancreas, suggesting it has various roles in tissue development and function.
research 764 DNA dioxygenases Tet1/2/3 control hair matrix keratinocyte differentiation and hair shaft shape via regulation of hair keratin gene expression
The enzymes Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 are important for the development of hair follicles and determining hair shape by controlling hair keratin genes.
research Characterization of Prostaglandin F2α Receptors in Human Eyelids
PGF2α receptors in human eyelids are found in specific parts of hair follicles, explaining eyelash changes with glaucoma treatment.
research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Histomorphometric study of hair follicle of Assam Hill goat during preruminant, transitional and ruminant age groups
Ruminant goats have larger and more defined hair follicles than younger goats.
research ‘A detective look’ at hair biopsies from African-American patients
Recognizing specific features of African-American hair can help diagnose hair loss conditions.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cells differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
research A Mouse Model for Studying Stem Cell Effects on Regeneration of Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheaths
The study found that stem cells and neutrophils are important for regenerating hair follicle structures in mice.
research Pathogenesis in pili torti: morphological study
Pili torti hair twists due to uneven outer root sheath cell development.
research Trichohyalin, an intermediate filament-associated protein of the hair follicle.
Trichohyalin is a protein in hair follicles that helps form hair filaments.
research Is the Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome a Keratin Disorder?
Loose anagen hair syndrome may be caused by keratin gene mutations.
research Lectin‐binding profiles for normal skin appendages and their tumors
Skin tumors and normal skin structures have different lectin-binding patterns.
research Peptidylarginine Deiminase Isoforms Are Differentially Expressed in the Anagen Hair Follicles and Other Human Skin Appendages
PAD enzymes play a key role in hair growth and structure.
research Characterization and expression analysis of KAP7.1, KAP8.2 gene in Liaoning new-breeding cashmere goat hair follicle
KAP7.1 and KAP8.2 genes are crucial for cashmere quality in goats.
research Skin-specific expression of a truncated E1a oncoprotein binding to p105-Rb leads to abnormal hair follicle maturation without increased epidermal proliferation.
The oncoprotein causes abnormal hair growth without increasing skin cancer risk.
research Polymorphism of Keratin Gene KRT71 and Its Relationship with Wool Properties in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep
The GG genotype of the KRT71 gene leads to longer wool in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep.
