research Hair follicle stem cells: A new arena
Hair follicle stem cells have significant potential for treating various disorders.
research Novel insights into cardiocutaneous syndromes
Understanding genetics is crucial for treating heart and skin diseases.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Preparation and Characterization of Soluble Wool Keratin for Human Hair Care
CMADK reduces hair damage from bleaching and permanent waving.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research Follicular Stem Cells in Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is not caused by damage to follicular stem cells.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research The Cross-section Trichometer: A New Device for Measuring Hair Quantity, Hair Loss, and Hair Growth
The Cross-section Trichometer is a new tool that can measure hair quantity and detect hair loss and growth.
research A Comparison of Morphometric Features of Scalp Hair among Different Regions of India
Scalp hair characteristics vary across different regions of India and can help identify a person's origin.
research Hair Biology and Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss caused by genetics and hormones; more research needed for treatments.
research The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
research Hair growth promoting effects of adipose tissue-derived stem cells
Fat tissue stem cells may help increase hair growth.
research Ultrastructural evaluation of the radioprotective effects of melatonin against X‐ray‐induced skin damage in Albino rats
Melatonin may reduce skin damage caused by X-rays in rats.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 22-1 (KAP22-1) Gene and Its Effect on Wool Traits
The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
research Variation in the caprine keratin-associated protein 15-1 (KAP15-1) gene affects cashmere fibre diameter
The KRTAP15-1 gene affects cashmere fiber thickness in goats.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Is thyrotropin-releasing hormone a novel neuroendocrine modulator of keratin expression in human skin?
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone may help control skin and hair growth and could aid in treating related disorders.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Plakophilin 1 suppresses keratinocyte innate immune responses through DExD/H helicases
Plakophilin 1 helps control skin cell immune responses to prevent excessive inflammation.
research Independent DSG4 frameshift variants in cats with hair shaft dystrophy
Cats with abnormal hair had DSG4 gene changes causing hair problems.
research Commentary
Hair disease research is a growing and evolving field in dermatology, with recent significant advances.
research The metabolism of testosterone by dermal papilla cells cultured from scalp follicles of men with androgenetic alopecia
Testosterone metabolism in balding scalp cells may not be the main cause of hair loss.
research Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome: History, causes, phenotype and research advances
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome causes rapid aging from a genetic mutation, with no cure but ongoing research into potential treatments.
research Assessment of scalp hair survivin in patients with premature greying of hair
Examining Survivin levels may help understand premature greying of hair.
research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Trichohyalin: Presence in the Granular Layer and Stratum Corneum of Normal Human Epidermis
Trichohyalin is also found in the outer layers of normal human skin.
research Experimental Confirmation of a Distinctive Diffraction Pattern in Hair From Women With Breast Cancer
A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.
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.
