AMT is the best surfactant for hair and scalp care.
research Characterization of Hair Follicles in Hirosaki Hairless Rats with Deletion of Basic Hair Keratin Genes. Enlarged Medulla, Loss of Cuticle and Long Catagen
Hirosaki hairless rats have sparse, twisted hair due to missing hair keratin genes.
research Enhanced cutaneous wound healing by functional injectable thermo-sensitive chitosan-based hydrogel encapsulated human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells
A new hydrogel with stem cells from human umbilical cords improves skin wound healing and reduces inflammation.
research Thyroxine (T4) may promote re-epithelialisation and angiogenesis in wounded human skin ex vivo
Thyroxine (T4) may help heal skin wounds by promoting new skin and blood vessel growth.
research Identification of somatic and germline mosaicism for a keratin 5 mutation in epidermolysis bullosa simplex in a family of which the proband was previously regarded as a sporadic case
The keratin 5 mutation in a family with epidermolysis bullosa simplex was due to mosaicism, not a new mutation.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research TSH is a novel neuroendocrine regulator of selected keratins in the human hair follicle
TSH influences keratin expression in human hair follicles.
research Blackcurrant Extract with Phytoestrogen Activity Alleviates Hair Loss in Ovariectomized Rats
Blackcurrant extract may help reduce hair loss by promoting stem cell activity in hair follicles.
research Ectopic production of hair keratin constitutes Rushton’s hyaline bodies in association with hematogenous deposits
