research An Updated Nomenclature for Keratin-Associated Proteins (KAPs)
The document introduced a new naming system for keratin-associated proteins to improve clarity and communication across species.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research Hair follicle characteristics and fibre production in South American camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Unzipping the cuticle of the human hair shaft to obtain micron/nano keratin filaments
Researchers extracted tiny keratin filaments from human hair by unzipping its outer layer.
research Study on modification of rabbit hair fibers with L-cysteine
L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality
Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research Melatonin promotes Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) secondary hair follicle growth: a view from integrated analysis of long non-coding and coding RNAs
Melatonin helps Cashmere goats grow more hair by affecting certain genes and cell pathways.
research Effect of the Polymorphisms of Keratin Associated Protein 8.2 Gene on Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
KAP8.2 gene variations affect cashmere quality in goats.
research Association of the KAP 8.1 Gene Polymorphisms with Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats
KAP8.1 gene variations affect cashmere weight in Inner Mongolian goats.
research In vitro methodology, hormonal and nutritional effects and fibre production in isolated ovine and caprine anagen hair follicles
Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.
research The induction of cashmere shedding via cyclophosphamide injection
Cyclophosphamide effectively induces cashmere shedding in goats without affecting their overall health.
research Functional analysis of the PIP5K1A gene in Liaoning Cashmere goats: an investigation based on bioinformatics, tissue localization, and biological functions
The PIP5K1A gene helps cashmere growth in goats by promoting cell proliferation, and melatonin boosts its expression.
research Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
research Long noncoding RNA and gene expression analysis of melatonin-exposed Liaoning cashmere goat fibroblasts indicating cashmere growth
Melatonin treatment increases a specific RNA in goat cells that boosts cashmere growth.
research Oxidative Modification in Human Hair: The Effect of the Levels of Cu (II ) Ions, UV Exposure and Hair Pigmentation
Reducing copper (II) ion levels in hair can decrease hair damage.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
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 Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Fetal Skin Reveals Key Genes Related to Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Cashmere Goats
Key genes and pathways crucial for hair follicle development in cashmere goats were identified, aiding fleece production improvement.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Elemental hair analysis: A review of procedures and applications
Hair elemental analysis could be useful for health and exposure assessment but requires more standardization and research.
research Effects of EGF on the Morphology and Patterns of DNA Synthesis in Isolated Human Hair Follicles
EGF makes hair follicles grow longer but stops hair production.
research GROWTH FACTORS IN HAIR ORGAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Melatonin promotes secondary hair follicle development of early postnatal cashmere goat and improves cashmere quantity and quality by enhancing antioxidant capacity and suppressing apoptosis
Melatonin improves cashmere goat hair growth and quality by increasing antioxidants and reducing cell death.
research Compartmentation of Mitochondrial and Oxidative Metabolism in Growing Hair Follicles: A Ring of Fire
Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.
