960-990 / 1000+ results research Life before and beyond blistering: The role of collagen XVII in epidermal physiology
Collagen XVII is vital for skin structure, hair stem cell support, and skin cell regulation.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Impaired Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling with Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation in nackt Mice, a Cathepsin L-Deficient Mutation
Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.
research Pax9 is required for filiform papilla development and suppresses skin-specific differentiation of the mammalian tongue epithelium
Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.
research Transcriptome Profile at Different Physiological Stages Reveals Potential Mode for Curly Fleece in Chinese Tan Sheep
Genetic differences between young and old Tan sheep explain why their fleece changes from curly to straight as they age.
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 RANKL Induces Organized Lymph Node Growth by Stromal Cell Proliferation
RANKL causes lymph nodes to grow by making certain cells multiply.
research Expression of truncated latent TGF-β-binding protein modulates TGF-β signaling
Truncated LTBP-1 disrupts TGF-β signaling, affecting hair growth.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
Perming significantly changes hair's molecular structure, while shampoo and conditioner do not.
research Pathogenesis of pili annulati
Pili annulati is caused by a protein metabolism disorder affecting hair structure.
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 Targeted expression of activated erbB-2 to the epidermis of transgenic mice elicits striking developmental abnormalities in the epidermis and hair follicles.
Activated erbB-2 in mice skin causes severe skin and hair abnormalities.
research Gsdma3 is required for hair follicle differentiation in mice
The Gsdma3 gene is essential for normal hair development in mice.
research Transglutaminase-3 Enzyme: A Putative Actor in Human Hair Shaft Scaffolding?
TGase 3 helps build hair structure by forming strong bonds between proteins.
research Exploring a biological tissue from atomic to macroscopic scale using synchrotron radiation: example of hair.
Hair has unevenly distributed proteins and lipids, with lipids mainly in the cuticle and proteins in the cortex and medulla.
research Comparative proteomic analyses using iTRAQ-labeling provides insights into fiber diversity in sheep and goats
The research found specific proteins that affect fiber characteristics and hair growth in sheep and goats.
research Proteomic analysis of hair shaft and nail plate.
Hair and nail proteins, mainly keratins, are crucial for structure and can indicate health issues.
research Harlequin ichthyosis (ichq): a juvenile lethal mouse mutation with ichthyosiform dermatitis.
The harlequin ichthyosis mouse mutation causes thick skin and early death, resembling a human skin disorder.
research The sheep KAP8-2 gene, a new KAP8 family member that is absent in humans
Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research The Parathyroid Hormone Second Receptor PTH2R and its Ligand Tuberoinfundibular Peptide of 39 Residues TIP39 Regulate Intracellular Calcium and Influence Keratinocyte Differentiation
TIP39 and PTH2R help control calcium levels and skin cell development.
research Pmg-1 and Pmg-2 constitute a novel family of KAP genes differentially expressed during skin and mammary gland development
Pmg-1 and Pmg-2 are new genes important for skin and mammary gland development.
research Growth of wool follicles in culture
Wool follicles can grow in a lab with the right nutrients and conditions.
research A Comprehensive Review of Acne Vulgaris
Acne can't be cured but can be managed with treatments like benzoyl peroxide and diet changes; it's costly and can lead to scarring and mental health issues.
research Pilomatricoma can differentiate not only towards hair matrix and hair cortex, but also follicular infundibulum, outer root sheath and hair bulge
Pilomatricoma can develop into various hair-related structures.
research Hairless Plays a Role in Formation of Inner Root Sheath via Regulation of Dlx3 Gene
