150-180 / 1000+ resultsresearch Characterization of the exocuticle a‐layer proteins of wool
The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
research [Contribution to hair medulla study (author's transl)].
Hair medullary cells in mammals vary in complexity, with humans having more structured cells similar to inner root sheath cells.
research The three-dimensional microvascular and collagen fibrillar arrangements around rat vibrissa hairs as revealed by scanning electron microscopy
The lower part of rat vibrissa hair gets more blood and is well-protected for growth.
research Spatial transcriptomics reveals asymmetric cellular responses to injury in the regenerating spiny mouse (Acomys) ear
The spiny mouse regenerates ear tissue asymmetrically, with gene expression differences possibly explaining its unique healing abilities.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research An Updated Nomenclature for Keratin-Associated Proteins (KAPs)
The document introduced a new naming system for keratin-associated proteins to improve clarity and communication across species.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Itchy Black Hair Bristles on Back
Permanent hair removal with lasers may cure itchy black hair bristles on the back.
research In vivo formation steps of the hard α-keratin intermediate filament along a hair follicle: Evidence for structural polymorphism
