research Repair of damaged hair protein fiber by jointly using transglutaminase and keratin
Using an enzyme and keratin treatment can significantly repair and strengthen damaged hair.
research Chemical Danger in Hair Keratin Care
Hair keratin treatments can be harmful, potentially causing health issues like skin reactions and cancer.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co- option in the evolution of the hair follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research An Investigation of Keratin 15 Function by Small Interfering Ribonucleic Acid Technology
Keratin 15 affects cell behavior and characteristics in skin cells.
research The inconsistent regulation of HOXC13 on different keratins and the regulation mechanism on HOXC13 in cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.
research Development, Structure, and Keratin Expression in C57BL/6J Mouse Eccrine Glands
The study found that mouse sweat glands develop before birth, mature after birth, and have specific keratin patterns.
research Modulating Mesenchymal Stem Cell Behavior Using Human Hair Keratin-Coated Surfaces
Coating surfaces with human hair keratin improves the growth and consistency of important stem cells for medical use.
research A mutation in the type II hair keratin KRT86 gene in a Han family with monilethrix
A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Structural features of the α-type filaments of the inner root sheath cells of the guinea pig hair follicle
α-type filaments in guinea pig hair follicles have unique structural features.
research Human hair keratins promote the regeneration of peripheral nerves in a rat sciatic nerve crush model
Human hair keratin helps repair nerve damage in rats.
research Cryogelation of human hair keratins
Human hair keratins can be turned into useful 3D biomedical scaffolds through a freeze-thaw process.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research Downregulation of mRNAs Encoding Keratin-Associated Proteins in the Tongue of Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
A high-fat diet may weaken tongue structure by reducing certain protein genes.
research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.
research Transcriptome sequencing reveals the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in goat skin tissues with different types of wool coats
The study identified key genes and pathways that influence goat wool quality and growth.
research Correction of Hair Shaft Defects through Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Krt75
Using special RNA to target a mutant gene fixed hair problems in mice.
research Damage limitation: comparing the impact of polymers on bleached hair, when applied within or as post-bleach treatments
Polymers help reduce damage and improve bleached hair when used during or after bleaching.
research Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
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 A Rapid Extraction Procedure of Human Hair Proteins and Identification of Phosphorylated Species.
A new method quickly extracts and identifies proteins from hair and other keratin sources.
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 Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
