research Immunocosmeceuticals: An emerging trend in repairing human hair damage
Immuno-cosmeceuticals from chicken egg yolk can effectively repair and improve damaged hair.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Ageing processes influence keratin and KAP expression in human hair follicles
Aging causes changes in hair follicles, leading to weaker hair growth.
research A discrete transition zone between cuticle and cortex layers of a human hair fibre: changes observed in the presence of breast cancer
Breast cancer alters specific molecular structures in hair, which revert after cancer removal.
research A Review of Keratin-Based Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Keratin from hair and wool is used in medical materials for healing and drug delivery.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Topical L‐thyroxine: The Cinderella among hormones waiting to dance on the floor of dermatological therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
research Cornified Epithelial Teeth of Jawless Vertebrates Contain Proteins Similar to Keratin-Associated Proteins of Mammalian Skin Appendages
Jawless vertebrates have teeth proteins similar to those in mammalian hair and nails.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Cosmetics and hair and nails
Hair and nails are skin parts that develop early and serve protective and functional roles.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
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 Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
research Abnormal Wool Growth and Alopecia of Artificially Reared Lambs
Lambs fed a liquid diet showed abnormal wool and skin, which improved with more B-vitamins, suggesting a link to B-vitamin deficiency.
research Omics for Precious Rare Biosamples: Characterization of Ancient Human Hair by a Proteomic Approach
The study developed a method to analyze ancient hair proteins using very small samples.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Crosslinking Between Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Mechanical anisotropy of hair affected by genetic diseases highlights structural information related to differential crosslinking in keratins
research Chemical bonds and hair behaviour—A review
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair's strength, especially when wet.
research Exploring a biological tissue from atomic to macroscopic scale using synchrotron radiation: example of hair.
Hair has unevenly distributed proteins and lipids, with lipids mainly in the cuticle and proteins in the cortex and medulla.
research Age-associated thin hair displays molecular, structural and mechanical characteristic changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Natural ‘Green’ Sugar-Based Treatment for Hair Styling
Scientists created a non-toxic, sugar-based hair product that can style hair without damage.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research Biomechanical properties of human hair with different parameters
Thicker hair is stronger, regardless of age, gender, or other factors.
research In vitro biodegradation of hair from different animal species by Microsporum canis
Microsporum canis breaks down animal hair fastest in sheep and foxes, slowest in humans.
