ILK is essential for proper hair follicle development and structure.
research Trichohyalin: Purification from Porcine Tongue Epithelium and Characterization of the Native Protein
Trichohyalin, a protein from pig tongue, was purified and found to have a filamentous structure.
research The Type I Keratin 19 Possesses Distinct and Context-dependent Assembly Properties
Keratin 19 forms less stable and shorter filaments than keratin 14, giving unique traits to certain skin cells.
research Proteoglycans and Associated Proteins of the Mammalian Hair Follicle
research Analysis of the sheep trichohyalin gene: potential structural and calcium-binding roles of trichohyalin in the hair follicle.

Fibre optic confocal imaging can visualize skin layers, blood vessels, and nerves in live mice.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Acid phosphatase distribution in the wool follicle. III. Fate of organelles in keratinized cells
Keratinized wool cells still have some organelles like lysosomes and mitochondria.
research PIEZO1-mediated calcium signaling reinforces mechanical properties of hair follicle stem cells to promote quiescence
PIEZO1 helps keep hair follicle stem cells inactive, affecting hair growth.
research Clinically relevant aberrant Filip1l DNA methylation detected in a murine model of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
Increased methylation of the Filip1l gene may contribute to aggressive skin cancer.
research Protein Microarrays
Protein microarrays are highly sensitive tools useful for disease diagnosis and studying proteins.
research The arrector pili muscle, the bridge between the follicular stem cell niche and the interfollicular epidermis
The study suggests that the arrector pili muscle is important for hair health and its damage might contribute to hair loss.
research Identification of clustered cells in human hair follicle responsible for MMP‐9 gelatinolytic activity: consequences for the regulation of hair growth
MMP-9 increase in hair follicles may lead to hair loss.
