780-810 / 1000+ resultsresearch Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Differential distribution of the epigenetic marker 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine occurs in hair follicle stem cells during bulge activation
The marker 5-hmC changes in hair follicle stem cells when they start to grow.
research Properties of Partially Extracted Hairs and their Degradability by Proteases
Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.

Without keratin 10, there's more growth and development of oil-producing skin cells.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism*
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research 923 Molecular phenotyping of lichen planopilaris revealed dysregulation of cholesterol/fatty acid metabolism, fibrosis and mast cell pathways
Lichen planopilaris involves disrupted fat metabolism, increased scarring, and mast cell activity.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research 1496 Transcription factor SOX2-induced amphiregulin inhibits pressure ulcer formation via suppressing oxidative stress after cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion in mice
SOX2 helps reduce wound size and pressure ulcer formation by suppressing oxidative stress and increasing antioxidant activity in mice.
research Degradation of human hair keratin scaffold implanted for repairing injured skeletal muscles.
Human hair keratin scaffolds help repair injured muscles by breaking down and activating muscle cell growth.
research Growth factors specifically alter hair follicle cell proliferation and collagenolytic activity alone or in combination
Growth factors can either promote or inhibit hair follicle cell growth and collagen breakdown.
research Enhanced substantivity of hyaluronic acid on keratin substrates via polymer complexation
Polymer complexation makes hyaluronic acid stick to hair better, enhancing its moisturizing effects.
