research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Human hair keratin responds to oxidative stress via reactive sulfur and supersulfides
Human hair strength and health are linked to sulfur compounds that can be reduced by stress but improved with sulfur supplements.
research Effects of FGF5-mediated LncRNA on the skin fibroblast growth of Liaoning Cashmere goats
FGF-5 promotes Cashmere goat hair growth by increasing keratin genes and reducing certain LncRNA and target genes.
research Screening and Identification of LncRNAs Related to Villus Growth of Liaoning Cashmere Goats and Their Effects on Growth after FGF5 Treatment
Certain long non-coding RNAs in cashmere goats affect hair growth when treated with a specific growth factor.
research 2P546 Structural Analysis of Curly and Straight Human Hair Fibers by Scanning Microbeam SAXS(52. Bio-imaging,Poster Session,Abstract,Meeting Program of EABS & BSJ 2006)
Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research The complement of native α-keratin polypeptides of hair-forming cells: A subset of eight polypeptides that differ from epithelial cytokeratins
research Differential expression of keratin 19 in normal human epithelial tissues revealed by monospecific monoclonal antibodies
research K25 (K25irs1), K26 (K25irs2), K27 (K25irs3), and K28 (K25irs4) Represent the Type I Inner Root Sheath Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle
K25, K27, and K28 are found in all inner root sheath layers of hair, while K26 is only in the cuticle.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Characterization of a 300 kbp Region of Human DNA Containing the Type II Hair Keratin Gene Domain
