research Multi-potentiality of a new immortalized epithelial stem cell line derived from human hair follicles
Scientists created a long-lasting stem cell line from human hair that can turn into different skin and hair cell types.
research Hedgehog Signaling, Keratin 6 Induction, and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis
Hedgehog signaling is essential for normal sebaceous gland development and affects keratin 6a expression.
research Office Diagnosis of Hair Shaft Defects
The document explains how to identify different hair problems using a microscope.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
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 Hereditary 1,25‐Dihydroxyvitamin D‐Resistant Rickets in a Pomeranian Dog Caused by a Novel Mutation in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene
A Pomeranian dog had rickets due to a new gene mutation, leading to severe symptoms and euthanasia.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 26-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
Selecting specific KRTAP26-1 gene variants can improve wool quality in sheep.
research Damage of hair follicle stem cells and alteration of keratin expression in external radiation-induced acute alopecia
Radiation damages hair stem cells and changes keratin expression, with Krt5 as a potential marker for radiation effects.
research A Splice Site Mutation in the Gene of the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1 Results in the Expression of a Tailless Keratin Isoform
A genetic mutation in the hHa1 gene creates a smaller, but still functional, hair protein without causing hair problems.
research Recombinant human hair keratin proteins for halting bleeding
Recombinant human hair keratin proteins can effectively stop bleeding.
research Skin Manifestations of Insulin Resistance: From a Biochemical Stance to a Clinical Diagnosis and Management
Certain skin conditions can indicate insulin resistance and should prompt lifestyle changes and medical treatment to manage underlying health issues.
research Biochemistry of epidermal stem cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research Investigation of the damage on the outermost hair surface using ToF‐SIMS and XPS
Bleaching hair causes significant damage by breaking down proteins and fatty acids.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Innate type 2 immunity controls hair follicle commensalism by Demodex mites
Type 2 immunity helps control mite growth in hair follicles, preventing damage.
research Pharmacological activation of estrogen receptors-α and -β differentially modulates keratinocyte differentiation with functional impact on wound healing
Activating ER-β, not ER-α, improves skin cell growth and wound healing.
research Structural changes in trichocyte keratin intermediate filaments during keratinization
Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Potential use of human hair shaft keratin peptide signatures to distinguish gender and ethnicity
Keratin peptides in hair might help identify gender and ethnicity.
research Homozygous Dominant Missense Mutation in Keratin 17 Leads to Alopecia in Addition to Severe Pachyonychia Congenita
A specific gene mutation causes severe skin and nail issues and hair loss.
research Autosomal Recessive Transmission of a Rare KRT74 Variant Causes Hair and Nail Ectodermal Dysplasia: Allelism with Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A rare gene variant causes hair and nail issues in a family.
research Identification of Telogen Markers Underscores that Telogen Is Far from a Quiescent Hair Cycle Phase
Telogen is an active phase with important biological processes, not a resting phase.
research Morphogenesis and maintenance of the 3D thymic medulla and prevention of nude skin phenotype require FoxN1 in pre- and post-natal K14 epithelium
FoxN1 gene is essential for proper thymus structure and preventing hair loss.
research The structure of hair and follicles of mice carrying the naked (N) gene
Mice with the naked gene have missing or abnormal hair cells.
research Two Different Mutations in the Same Codon of a Type II Hair Keratin (hHb6) in Patients with Monilethrix
