Hair follicle cultures are effective for studying cell communication and testing chemicals.
research Expression patterns of hair and epithelial keratins and transcription factors HOXC13, LEF1, and β‐catenin in a malignant pilomatricoma: a histological and immunohistochemical study
The malignant pilomatricoma showed strong epithelial keratin expression, suggesting it may not calcify.
research Individual Human Hair Keratin Rapidly Extracted Through the Advanced Oxidation Process and Their Hemostatic and Wound Healing Evaluations
The new method extracts keratin from hair faster and better, and the resulting product improves blood clotting and wound healing, with potential for personalized treatments.
research Hard X-ray Microscopic Images of the Human Hair
High-resolution x-ray images showed three main structures in human hair: medulla, cortex, and cuticle.
research Equine Hoof Stratum Internum K14+CD105+ Progenitor Cells: Culture, Characterization, and Model of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Equine hoof progenitor cells can help develop therapies for hoof diseases like laminitis.
research Rekindling the lost hair‐forming world
Non-hairy skin cells might be used to regenerate hair, helping with baldness and skin wounds.
research Are the Meibomian glands “hair follicles without a hair shaft” ?
Meibomian glands are like hair follicles without a hair shaft.
research Progenitor cells expressing nestin, a neural crest stem cell marker, differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes
Nestin-expressing progenitor cells become outer root sheath keratinocytes.
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.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
research Histopathological Analysis on keratin2-6 g Expression in Hair Mutant Mouse Hague
Keratin2-6g is crucial for hair follicle development, with mutations causing cell degeneration and vacuolation.
