Feather patterns are influenced by enhancers and chromatin looping, and the structure of protein complexes important for hair growth has been detailed.

Blood cells turned into stem cells can become skin cells similar to normal ones, potentially helping in skin therapies.

Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.

Keratin gene regulation is similar across mammals, affecting hair follicle differentiation.

Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.

Potassium cyanide treatment changes hair's disulfide bonds, making it more elastic.

Pal-KCV peptide strengthens hair and reduces breakage by up to 52%.

Only one of the two K16 genes on chromosome 17 makes a functional protein for keratin filaments.

Retinoids can help reduce keratin buildup in skin conditions.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.

Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.

Retinoids can help treat skin disorders by improving the skin's outer layer.

Chemical modifications can alter hair's stability and flexibility, with hydrophobic interactions helping maintain structure in humid conditions.
