Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.

Researchers isolated and identified structural components of human hair follicles, providing a model for studying hair formation.

A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.

Keratohyalin and trichohyalin proteins help form and organize skin and hair structures.

Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.

Hair follicle tissue can induce mineral formation, likely due to a potent nucleator.

Keratin from chicken feathers can be safely used on damaged skin.

Keratins K1 and K10 are found in the inner root sheath and cuticle of human hair follicles.

Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.

Keratin biomaterials from human hair help nerve regeneration by activating Schwann cells.

Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.

Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.

Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.

Keratin sponges are as biocompatible as collagen, but keratin gels are slightly less so.

Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.

Scaffoldin helps form hard skin structures in chicken embryos.

Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.

Lizard claws have hair-like keratins similar to those in mammals.

Mummy hair from the Taklamakan desert has calcium and phosphorus inside.

Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
