Zinc deficiency in children can cause skin issues and can be serious if not diagnosed and treated properly.
research Crafting Polymeric and Peptidic Hydrogels for Improved Wound Healing
Advanced hydrogel systems with therapeutic agents could greatly improve acute and chronic wound treatment.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Cyclosporin A-induced hair growth in mice is associated with inhibition of calcineurin-dependent activation of NFAT in follicular keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research α3β1-integrin regulates hair follicle but not interfollicular morphogenesis in adult epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research Functional Skin Grafts: Where Biomaterials Meet Stem Cells
Advancements in creating skin grafts with biomaterials and stem cells are promising, but more research is needed for clinical application.
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.

GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research The Hair Follicle
Dogs could be good models for studying human hair growth and hair loss.
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 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 Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
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 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 Love is in the hair: arginine methylation of human hair proteins as novel cardiovascular biomarkers
Human hair protein modifications could potentially indicate heart disease risk.
research Treatment of a Spinal Cord Hemitransection Injury with Keratin Biomaterial Hydrogel Elicits Recovery and Tissue Repair
Keratin hydrogel from human hair helps rats recover better from spinal cord injuries.
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 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.
