870-900 / 1000+ resultsresearch Keratins and lipids in ethnic hair
African hair's keratin structure is influenced by its higher lipid content.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research An immunohistochemical study of the apocrine type of cutaneous mixed tumors with special reference to their follicular and sebaceous differentiation
Apocrine type cutaneous mixed tumors often resemble hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and apocrine glands.
research Generalized trichoepitheliomas with alopecia and myasthenia gravis: Clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study and comparison with classic and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma
Generalized trichoepitheliomas with hair loss may indicate myasthenia gravis.
research The keratins and their disorders
Mutations in keratin genes cause cell fragility and various skin disorders.
research Existence of various structural zones in keratinous tissues revealed by X-ray microdiffraction
Keratinous tissues have multiple structural layers, including ordered keratin and lipid granules.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Epidermal Dysplasia and Abnormal Hair Follicles in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Homeobox Gene MSX-2
Overexpressing the MSX-2 gene in mice causes skin and hair growth issues.
research Vertebral epidermal transamidases
Transamidases are present in the epidermis but their exact role is unclear.
research Epithelial differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) undergoing three-dimensional (3D) cultivation with collagen sponge scaffold (CSS) via an indirect co-culture strategy
Using a collagen sponge scaffold helps stem cells become more like skin cells.
research Enhanced cutaneous wound healing by functional injectable thermo-sensitive chitosan-based hydrogel encapsulated human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells
A new hydrogel with stem cells from human umbilical cords improves skin wound healing and reduces inflammation.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Repairing the lungs one breath at a time: How dedicated or facultative are you?
Lung repair involves both dedicated and flexible stem cells, important for developing new treatments.
research The clinical features and histopathologic patterns of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides in a series of 38 cases
Recognizing diverse presentations of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides is crucial to avoid diagnostic errors.
research Investigation of differences in follicular penetration of particle-and nonparticle-containing emulsions by laser scanning microscopy
Particles similar in size to hair cells penetrate hair follicles better.
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 Laser microdissection and DNA typing of cells from single hair follicles
Laser microdissection helps get DNA from single hair follicles for better forensic analysis.
research Mutations in KLHL24 Add to the Molecular Heterogeneity of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex
Mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause skin blistering in epidermolysis bullosa simplex.
research Embryonic keratinization in vertebrates in relation to land colonization
Keratinization in embryos helped vertebrates adapt to land by forming a protective skin barrier.
research Disorders of Keratinization
Understanding genetic mutations helps diagnose and treat skin disorders like ichthyosis.
research Keratins 1 and 10 or homologues as regular constituents of inner root sheath and cuticle cells in the human hair follicle.
Keratins K1 and K10 are found in the inner root sheath and cuticle of human hair follicles.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
