research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research Expression of epidermal keratins and filaggrin during human fetal skin development.
Keratins and filaggrin change as fetal skin develops, marking key stages of skin formation.
research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
Type II keratins are uniquely phosphorylated during stress and mitosis, affecting their structure and function.
research Expression of the hair stem cell-specific keratin 15 in pilar tumors of the skin.
K15 staining helps distinguish basal cell carcinoma from trichoepithelioma.
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 The presence of glycoproteins in the cell membrane complex of a variety of keratin fibres
Glycoproteins are present in the cell membranes of various keratin fibers.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Heat‐damaged evaluation of virgin hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Keratins: Dynamic, flexible structural proteins of epithelial cells
Keratin proteins in epithelial cells are dynamic and crucial for cell processes and disease understanding.
research Qualitative investigation of fresh human scalp hair with full-field optical coherence tomography
Melanin density affects hair color, and this method can help in cosmetic assessments and diagnosing hair diseases.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research High-Performance Wigs via the Langmuir–Blodgett Deposition of Keratin/Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite
New wig coating technique makes them more durable, UV resistant, and less static.
research Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD determination of dansyl amino acids in chemically treated human hair
A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.
research Volume Changes During Water Binding to Hair Fibers
Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.
research Distinct mechanisms for sebaceous gland self-renewal and regeneration provide durability in response to injury
Sebaceous glands can heal and regenerate after injury using their own stem cells and help from hair follicle cells.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Application of PCR Technique to Detect Polymorphism of the KRTAP1.1 Gene in Three Sheep Breeds - A Review
The PCR technique can identify genetic differences in a wool-related gene among different sheep breeds, which may help improve wool and pelt quality.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on an Atomistic Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin-Associated Protein 5-1
Damaged hair allows water to penetrate more easily, and fatty acids from shampoos can deposit on hair surfaces.
research AP-2α/AP-2β transcription factors are key regulators of epidermal homeostasis
AP-2α and AP-2β proteins are essential for healthy adult skin and hair.
research Rational design of keratin nanoparticles utilizing diverse hair protein fractions for controlled drug release
Scientists made nanoparticles from human hair proteins to improve drug delivery.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research George Ernest Rogers 1927–2021
George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.
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 Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cell differentiation into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin marks cells that can become a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles of both developing and adult mice.
research Ingredients Present In Personal Care Products That Need Scrutiny
Certain ingredients in personal care products, like formaldehyde, oxidative hair dyes, and sulfates, pose health risks and need careful review.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
