research Fate of Prominin-1 Expressing Dermal Papilla Cells during Homeostasis, Wound Healing and Wnt Activation
Prominin-1 expressing cells in the dermal papilla help regulate hair follicle size and communication but don't aid in skin repair.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
research Nudging hair shedding by antidandruff shampoos. A comparison of 1% ketoconazole, 1% piroctone olamine and 1% zinc pyrithione formulations
All three shampoos reduced dandruff and hair loss, but ketoconazole and piroctone olamine also made hair thicker.
