Research
600-630 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 A model system to analyse the ability of human keratinocytes to form hair follicles
Scientists developed a system to study human hair growth using skin cells, which could help understand hair development and improve skin substitutes for medical use.
research Structure and function of skin, hair and nails
Understanding skin, hair, and nails is crucial due to their complexity and impact on health.
research Keratin expression in basal cell carcinomas
Basal cell carcinomas likely originate from hair follicle cells or stem cells.
research The concept of the onychodermis (specialized nail mesenchyme): an embryological assessment and a comparative analysis with the hair follicle
The onychodermis helps anchor the nail bed and may aid in nail formation.
research A new in vitro culture system to produce a fully differentiated epidermis from human hair follicle outer root sheath cells
Researchers developed a method to grow skin-like tissue from hair cells.
research Investigating the role of keratin proteins and microbial associations in hereditary and pathogenic alopecia
research The use of keratin biomaterials derived from human hair for the promotion of rapid regeneration of peripheral nerves
Keratin from human hair helps nerves heal faster.
research Cultured nail keratinocytes express hard keratins characteristic of nail and hair in vivo
Lab-grown nail cells show characteristics similar to natural nail and hair.
research Three-dimensional modelling of interchain sequence similarities and differences in the coiled-coil segments of keratin intermediate filament heterodimers highlight features important in assembly
Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.
research Normal histology of the skin
The skin has two main layers, the epidermis and dermis, which work together and are essential for diagnosing skin conditions.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Author Correction: Keratin-mediated hair growth and its underlying biological mechanism
research Proteome Analysis of Human Hair Shaft
Human hair contains many proteins, with some being highly abundant and modified.
research The role of cathepsin E in terminal differentiation of keratinocytes
Cathepsin E is crucial for normal skin cell differentiation and development.
research Unzipping the cuticle of the human hair shaft to obtain micron/nano keratin filaments
Researchers extracted tiny keratin filaments from human hair by unzipping its outer layer.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field
Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
research ANTI‐HAIR KERATIN MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY (HKN‐2)
HKN-2 antibody targets specific skin and hair cells, showing keratin complexity.
research Cytochemistry of Trichohyalin Granules: A Possible Role for Cornification of Inner Root Sheath Cell in the Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin granules help inner root sheath cells in hair follicles harden by integrating with keratin filaments.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
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 α-parvin is required for epidermal morphogenesis, hair follicle development and basal keratinocyte polarity
α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
research Bioactive Nutritional Macromolecules Supporting Hair Structure, Density, and Growth: A Comprehensive Review
Type I collagen, elastin, keratin, ceramides, and melanin improve hair strength, growth, and health.
research Molecular and spatial design of early skin development
The research reveals how early embryonic mouse skin develops from simple to complex structures, identifying various cell types and their roles in this process.
research K6irs1, K6irs2, K6irs3, and K6irs4 Represent the Inner-Root-Sheath-Specific Type II Epithelial Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle1
Four specific keratins in hair follicles help understand hair structure and function.
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 Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research The epidermis: rising to the surface
The document concludes that recent research has improved understanding of skin diseases and the balance between cell growth and differentiation in the epidermis.
research Histological evaluation of hair keratin based templates in mice
Keratin sponges are as biocompatible as collagen, but keratin gels are slightly less so.
