research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research Effect of varied hair protein fractions on the gel properties of keratin/chitosan hydrogels for the use in tissue engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research CD98hc (SLC3A2) regulation of skin homeostasis wanes with age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Proliferative and necrotizing otitis externa in four cats
Topical 0.1% tacrolimus significantly improved ear infections in cats.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Alopecia as a rare but distinct manifestation of pemphigus vulgaris
Hair loss is a rare but recognized symptom of pemphigus vulgaris, with patients usually regrowing hair after treatment.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride helps hair growth by decreasing cell death in hair follicles.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride affects hair growth by changing caspase and XIAP levels, potentially treating hair diseases.
research Angiogenin is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and stimulates hair growth
Angiogenin helps hair grow by stimulating cell growth and blood vessel formation.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Vitamin D receptor-mediated control of Soggy, Wise, and Hairless gene expression in keratinocytes
Vitamin D receptor helps control hair growth genes in skin cells.
research Clinical review 74: Dermatological manifestations of endocrine disorders.
Skin changes can indicate hormonal imbalances and help diagnose endocrine disorders.
research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
research Molecular Basis for Hair Loss in Mice Carrying a Novel Nonsense Mutation (Hrrh-R) in the Hairless Gene (Hr)
A new mutation in the hairless gene causes hair loss and skin wrinkling in mice.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research The relationship among androgens, insulin resistanceand ghrelin polymorphisms in post-adolescent malepatients with severe acne vulgaris
Lower ghrelin levels and certain gene variations may increase acne risk.
research Ligand‐independent Regulation of the hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor†
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
research Nonanal Stimulates Growth Factors via Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Signaling in Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Nonanal from fruits and vegetables promotes hair growth by increasing growth factors.
research The Negative Regulator CXXC5: Making WNT Look a Little Less Dishevelled
CXXC5 is a protein that prevents hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Recent therapeutic developments for acne
New acne treatments include combination creams, advanced retinoids, and light therapies, focusing on safety and patient adherence.
research A new tool for conditional gene manipulation in a subset of keratin‐expressing epithelia
The Megsin-Cre transgene is a new tool for genetic manipulation in the skin and upper digestive tract.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenase Inhibitors Promote S100A3 Citrullination in Cultured SW480 Cells and Isolated Hair Follicles
Inhibiting ALOX12 can help hair cuticle maturation by increasing S100A3 citrullination.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
