Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.
research Single-Cell Proteomics Uncovers Dual Traits of Dermal Sheath Cells in Wound Repair
Dermal sheath cells help heal wounds by showing both skin and connective tissue traits.
research Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
The study found 65 intermediate filament genes, including new keratins, and suggested updating keratin naming.
research Trichohyalin, an intermediate filament-associated protein of the hair follicle.
Trichohyalin is a protein in hair follicles that helps form hair filaments.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Hair follicle differentiation: expression, structure and evolutionary conservation of the hair type II keratin intermediate filament gene family
Type II keratin genes are crucial for hair follicle differentiation and have a conserved structure and expression pattern.
research Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research Existence of trichohyalin-keratohyalin hybrid granules: Co-localization of two major intermediate filament-associated proteins in non-follicular epithelia
Trichohyalin is found in non-hair tissues and works with filaggrin in certain skin areas and conditions.
research Regulation of a hair follicle keratin intermediate filament gene promoter
The LEF-1 binding site enhances gene expression in hair follicles, with other proteins aiding specific regulation.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research Structural changes in the trichocyte intermediate filaments accompanying the transition from the reduced to the oxidized form
Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research Isolation of intermediate filament assemblies from human hair follicles.
Researchers isolated and identified structural components of human hair follicles, providing a model for studying hair formation.
