390-420 / 1000+ results research Ageing processes influence keratin and KAP expression in human hair follicles
Aging causes changes in hair follicles, leading to weaker hair growth.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Self-consistent field theory for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments' elasticity is influenced by their terminal domains and surrounding medium.
research Evaluation of Cysteic Acid in Bleached Hair Using Infrared Spectroscopy
Bleaching hair increases cysteic acid levels in a predictable way.
research Discovery of differentially expressed genes in cashmere goat (Capra hircus) hair follicles by RNA sequencing
Researchers found 617 genes that behave differently in cashmere goat hair follicles, which could help understand hair growth.
research The Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Immunostaining study of cytokeratins in human hair follicle development
The study found that specific proteins are markers of hair follicle development in human fetuses.
research Keratin Promotes Differentiation of Keratinocytes Seeded on Collagen/Keratin Hydrogels
Keratin helps skin cells mature when added to a collagen mix, which could be important for skin and hair health.
research A Correlative Fluorescent and Electron Microscopic Technique for Ultralocalization of Trichocyte Keratins
Researchers developed a new method to clearly see and label hair proteins with minimal errors using advanced freezing and microscopy techniques.
research Fermented grapeseed oil repairs chemically damaged hair via enhanced permeability mechanisms
Fermented grapeseed oil effectively repairs and protects chemically damaged hair.
research Polyphenol–Inorganic Sulfate Complex-Enriched Straightening Shampoo for Reinforcing and Restoring Reduced Hair Integrity

research Leveraging Multifaceted Polyphenol Interactions: An Approach for Hair Loss Mitigation
Tannic acid can reduce hair loss by 56.2% by coating hair and releasing beneficial molecules.
research Multi-omics analysis of functional substances and expression verification in cashmere fineness
The study concluded that the arachidonic acid pathway and the protein KRT79 play a role in determining the fineness of cashmere.
research Polyomavirus‐induced pilomatricomas in mice: from viral inoculation to tumour development
Polyomavirus A2 infection in newborn mice caused hair follicle tumors.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Properties of Partially Extracted Hairs and their Degradability by Proteases
Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.
