research Experimental Studies of Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration.
Birds can regenerate inner ear hair cells from supporting cells, and mammals show potential for similar regeneration.
research Isolation of intermediate filament assemblies from human hair follicles.
Researchers isolated and identified structural components of human hair follicles, providing a model for studying hair formation.
research Histomorphological studies on the skin of camel (Camelus dromedarius) [in Bangladesh]
Camel skin has typical mammalian layers, with hair follicles, glands, and muscles, varying by body area.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research The secret life of the hair follicle
Hair follicles create different cell layers and proteins, controlled by various molecules.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Piecing together the pigment-type switching puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
research The hairless gene mutated in congenital hair loss disorders encodes a novel nuclear receptor corepressor
The mutated hairless gene causes hair loss by acting as a new type of corepressor affecting thyroid hormone receptors.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research Human Hairless Protein Roles in Skin/Hair and Emerging Connections to Brain and Other Cancers
The hairless protein is important for skin, hair, and may influence cancer development.
research Transcriptional Profiling in Rat Hair Follicles following Simulated Blast Insult: A New Diagnostic Tool for Traumatic Brain Injury
Hair follicles can help diagnose traumatic brain injury quickly and non-invasively.
research Epithelial Skin Biology
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research Structural interspecies variability of mammals' hairs
Mammal hairs have different internal structures.
research Dysregulation of Grainyhead-like 3 expression causes widespread developmental defects
Not having enough or having too much of the protein Grainyhead-like 3 leads to various developmental problems.
research Rapunzel! Rapunzel! How Strong Is Your Hair?
Hair can't be as strong as Rapunzel's because it's impractical to scale up due to defects.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research The Molecular Architecture for the Intermediate Filaments of Hardα-Keratin Based on the Superlattice Data Obtained from a Study of Mammals Using Synchrotron Fibre Diffraction
Hard α-keratin has a universal molecular structure with a specific superlattice arrangement.
research Biomechanics of hair fibre growth: A multi-scale modeling approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research MOF-mediated Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation Governs Mitochondrial and Ciliary Functions By Controlling Gene Promoters
MOF controls skin development by regulating genes for mitochondria and cilia.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Regulation of adult stem cell quiescence and its functions in the maintenance of tissue integrity
Quiescent adult stem cells are crucial for tissue repair and maintenance.
research Hormonal Organization of Sex Differences in Play Fighting and Spatial Behavior
Gonadal hormones may influence sex differences in play fighting in animals, but their effect on human spatial behavior is unclear and needs more research.
research Epidermal Differentiation Complex: A Review on Its Epigenetic Regulation and Potential Drug Targets.
Understanding how EDC genes are regulated can help develop better drugs for skin diseases.
research Distribution of caspase‐14 in epidermis and hair follicles is evolutionarily conserved among mammals
Caspase-14 is important for skin and hair development in all mammals.
research Acyl-CoA binding protein and epidermal barrier function
ACBP is essential for healthy skin and fur by maintaining the skin's barrier function.
research Defining the complex epithelia that comprise the canine claw with molecular markers of differentiation
Canine claws have complex structures with different keratin types, similar to hair and nails.
