research Perspectives of Alopecia behind the Regulation of Foxn1 Gene Exposes the Human Nude Phenotype
The gene Foxn1 is important for hair growth, and understanding it may lead to new alopecia treatments.
research Keratin expression in the normal nail unit: markers of regional differentiation
Different parts of the nail express different keratins, showing unique patterns of differentiation.
research Human stratified squamous epithelia differ in cellular fatty acid composition
Fatty acid composition in human skin, mouth, and hair cells varies with keratinization, and cultured cells show essential fatty acid deficiency.
