Increasing calcium sensing receptor speeds up skin and hair development in mice.
research The structure of the cornified claw sheath in the domesticated cat (Felis catus): implications for the claw‐shedding mechanism and the evolution of cornified digital end organs
Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.
research Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection Analysis of Human Hair: Comparison of Hair from Breast Cancer Patients with Hair from Healthy Subjects
Hair from breast cancer patients shows changes in structure and composition, and a test using these changes detected cancer but also falsely identified some healthy samples as cancerous.
research Desmoglein 4 is regulated by transcription factors implicated in hair shaft differentiation
Desmoglein 4 is controlled by specific proteins that affect hair growth.
research Proteomic analysis of hair shaft and nail plate.
Hair and nail proteins, mainly keratins, are crucial for structure and can indicate health issues.
