Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.
research Alopecia areata and the gut—the link opens up for novel therapeutic interventions
Gut health may influence Alopecia Areata, suggesting new treatments.
research Promotion of homology-directed DNA repair by polyamines
Polyamines help fix DNA damage accurately in cells.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.
research Severe Skin Permeability Barrier Dysfunction in Knockout Mice Deficient in a Fatty Acid ω-Hydroxylase Crucial to Acylceramide Production
Lack of a key enzyme causes severe skin issues and death in mice.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study of Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
The study concluded that PKP1 is essential for skin integrity and hair growth, and its dysfunction causes the symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome.
research Transglutaminase-3 Enzyme: A Putative Actor in Human Hair Shaft Scaffolding?
TGase 3 helps build hair structure by forming strong bonds between proteins.
research The effect of various cosmetic pretreatments on protecting hair from thermal damage by hot flat ironing.
Polymeric pretreatments can significantly reduce hair breakage and damage from hot flat irons.
research Effects of chemical structures of polycarboxylic acids on molecular and performance manipulation of hair keratin
A non-toxic formula using polycarboxylic acids strengthens and improves hair.
research Cuticle damage and the tensile properties of human hair
Cuticle damage doesn't affect hair's tensile strength; the cortex is responsible for it.
research Expression and Function of Group IIE Phospholipase A2 in Mouse Skin
sPLA2-IIE is crucial for normal hair follicle structure and skin health.
research The Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE), Which Is Defective in Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy Patients, Is Expressed in Human Epidermal and Follicular Keratinocytes and Associates With the Intermediate Filament Protein Cytokeratin 17
AIRE protein, defective in APECED patients, is found in skin and hair cells and interacts with cytokeratin 17.
research Increased Susceptibility to Skin Carcinogenesis Associated with a Spontaneous Mouse Mutation in the Palmitoyl Transferase Zdhhc13 Gene
A mouse gene mutation increases the risk of skin cancer.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Curly hair: measured differences and contributions to breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
research Charge density alterations in human hair fibers: an investigation using electrostatic force microscopy
The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.
research Comparative biology of tissue repair, regeneration and aging
The symposium concluded that understanding how different species repair tissue and how this changes with age can help advance regenerative medicine.
research Quantifying hair shape and hair damage induced during reshaping of hair.
New imaging and testing methods can effectively assess hair shape changes and damage.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research New insights into human hair: SAXS, SEM, TEM and EDX for Alopecia Areata investigations
Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.
research Homozygous whole body Cbs knockout in adult mice features minimal pathology during ageing despite severe homocysteinemia
Adult mice with CBS deficiency show minimal health issues and normal lifespan despite high homocysteine levels.
research Crystallin Fusion Proteins Improve the Thermal Properties of Hair
Fusion proteins can protect hair from heat damage.
research Keratin function and regulation in tissue homeostasis and pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
research The role of cell–cell and cell–matrix junctional complexes in sebaceous gland homeostasis and differentiation
Cell junctions are crucial for healthy skin by supporting sebaceous gland function and sebum production.
research The BLMP-1 transcription factor promotes oscillatory gene expression to achieve timely molting
BLMP-1 is important for regular molting and gene expression cycles in worms.
research The impact of different hair‐removal behaviours on the biophysical and biochemical characteristics of female axillary skin
All hair removal methods irritate underarm skin and cause dryness, with shaving being less irritating but more drying than plucking or waxing.
research Damaged hair retrieval with ceramide-rich liposomes.
Ceramide-rich liposomes can effectively repair and strengthen damaged hair.
