A specific gene mutation causes severe skin and nail issues and hair loss.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Putative Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Expressed in Embryonic Skin of Mice
The 4C32 gene may help in mouse skin development and differentiation.
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 The proteomic profile of hair damage
Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.
research Two Different Mutations in the Same Codon of a Type II Hair Keratin (hHb6) in Patients with Monilethrix
Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Annurca Apple Polyphenols Protect Murine Hair Follicles from Taxane Induced Dystrophy and Hijacks Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism toward β-Oxidation
Annurca apple extract may protect mouse hair from damage by chemotherapy and could help treat hair loss without promoting cancer growth.
research Sequence and expression of human hair keratin genes
Human hair keratin genes are similar to mouse genes and are specifically expressed in hair follicles.
research Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
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 The Overexpression of Tβ4 in the Hair Follicle Tissue of Alpas Cashmere Goats Increases Cashmere Yield and Promotes Hair Follicle Development
Overexpressing Tβ4 in goats' hair follicles increases cashmere production and hair follicle growth.
research Establishment of keratinocyte cell lines from human hair follicles
Scientists created keratinocyte cell lines from human hair that can differentiate similarly to normal skin cells, offering a new way to study skin biology and diseases.
research Hair follicle transcriptome profiles during the transition from anagen to catagen in Cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The transition from growth to regression in Cashmere goat hair follicles involves changes in expression of genes related to keratin and cell differentiation.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Expression of keratins K6 and K16 in regenerating mouse epidermis is less restricted by cell replication than the expression of K1 and K10.
Keratins K6 and K16 are expressed more freely in regenerating mouse skin than K1 and K10.
