research VAGINAL KERATINIZATION IN VITRO*
research Modulation of the differentiated phenotype of keratinocytes of the hair follicle and from epidermis
Hair follicle cells need complex interactions to fully differentiate.
research Spiny Keratoderma
Spiny keratoderma is a rare skin condition with small spines on palms and soles, possibly linked to abnormal hair formation.
research Terrestrial vertebrates have two keratin gene clusters; striking differences in teleost fish
Terrestrial vertebrates have balanced keratin gene clusters, unlike teleost fish.
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 1440 DNA dioxygenases Tet2/3 regulate gene promoter accessibility and chromatin topology in lineage-specific loci to control keratinocyte differentiation and hair growth
Tet2 and Tet3 enzymes are important for controlling hair growth and shape by affecting gene activity and DNA structure in hair follicles.
research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research The Binding of Small Molecules and Polymers to Keratin and Their Effects on the Physicochemical and Surface Properties of Hair Fibers
Certain small molecules and polymers can change hair's physical properties and how it feels by affecting the bonds within the hair.

Trichohyalin may trigger the immune response causing alopecia areata.
research Changes in the Molecular Structure of Hair in Insulin-Dependent Diabetes
Insulin-dependent diabetes alters hair's molecular structure, making it useful for studying diabetes effects.
research Keratin Gene Expression in Wool Fibre Development
Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in a female
A rare genetic skin condition usually affecting males was found in a 9-year-old girl.
research Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression of Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Activator, Other Proteinases, and Proteinase Inhibitors Correlates with the Expression of HGF in Rat Hair Follicles
