The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.
research Genomic Organization, Transcriptomic Analysis, and Functional Characterization of Avian α- and β-Keratins in Diverse Feather Forms
Feather diversity is due to different keratin gene combinations, and chickens can help study human keratin diseases.
research Structure and site of expression of a murine type II hair keratin
A specific type II hair keratin was identified and found in hair cortex and tongue cells.
research Expression of Basement Membrane Proteins and Interstitial Collagens in Dermal Papillae of Human Hair Follicles
research Characterisation of cell cycle arrest and terminal differentiation in a maximally proliferative human epithelial tissue: Lessons from the human hair follicle matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research A cluster of 21 keratin-associated protein genes within introns of another gene on human chromosome 21q22.3
A cluster of 21 keratin-associated protein genes important for hair growth was found on human chromosome 21.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Colocalization of Cystatin M/E and its Target Proteases Suggests a Role in Terminal Differentiation of Human Hair Follicle and Nail
Cystatin M/E helps in the final stages of hair and nail formation by controlling certain enzymes.
