270-300 / 1000+ resultsresearch Supplementary material from "Giant axonal neuropathy alters the structure of keratin intermediate filaments in human hair"
Giant axonal neuropathy changes the structure of keratin in human hair, making it stiffer and stronger.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
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 Clinicopathologic and trichoscopic features of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans: A case series study
The study concluded that key signs of Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans are changes in terminal hair and vellus hair follicles, which likely start the inflammation and damage to hair follicles.
research Recurrent missense mutations in the hair keratin gene hHb6 in monilethrix
Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Overexpression of human keratin 16 produces a distinct skin phenotype in transgenic mouse skin
High levels of human keratin 16 in mice cause skin lesions and abnormal skin development.
research Description of clinical aspects and microscopy of the hair shaft of a carrier of familial monilethrix
Monilethrix causes brittle hair and hair loss, and it runs in families.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Deimination and Peptidylarginine Deiminases in Skin Physiology and Diseases
PADs are crucial for healthy skin and hair, and their imbalance can cause skin and hair disorders.
research Is the Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome a Keratin Disorder?
Loose anagen hair syndrome may be caused by keratin gene mutations.

Keratin 17 is crucial for cell growth in wound healing by aiding protein synthesis.
research Plica neuropathica: Bird's nest under dermatoscope
Plica neuropathica is a tangled hair condition that may be caused by hair damage or psychiatric issues and is treated by cutting the hair and addressing mental health.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
