Research
30-60 / 1000+ results research Comparative Study of Some Potential Paracrine Factors Produced by Normal and Androgenetic Alopecia Hair Follicles
Balding hair follicles have less growth-promoting factors and more inhibitory factors, leading to hair loss.
research Investigating the origins of nanostructural variations in differential ethnic hair types using X‐ray scattering techniques
Different ethnic hair types have unique nanoscopic and molecular features despite having the same basic keratin structure.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Live imaging of stem cell and progeny behaviour in physiological hair-follicle regeneration.
Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Label Retaining Cells (LRCs) with Myoepithelial Characteristic from the Proximal Acinar Region Define Stem Cells in the Sweat Gland
Sweat gland stem cells help maintain glands, aid wound healing, and can regenerate skin structures.
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Effects of FGF5-mediated LncRNA on the skin fibroblast growth of Liaoning Cashmere goats
FGF-5 promotes Cashmere goat hair growth by increasing keratin genes and reducing certain LncRNA and target genes.
research Isolation and characterization of a sheep cysteine-rich cuticle keratin pseudogene
Researchers found a non-functional sheep keratin gene due to mutations.
research [The effect of cgVEGF164 on the growth of murine hair follicles].
cgVEGF164 boosts hair follicle growth in mice.
research KRT16 wt Allele
Mutations in the KRT16 gene can cause skin and nail disorders.
research Trends in biopolymer science applied to cosmetics
Biopolymers are increasingly used in cosmetics for their non-toxicity and skin benefits, with future biotech advancements likely to expand their applications.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Nonviral in situ green fluorescent protein labeling and culture of primary, adult human hair follicle epithelial progenitor cells.
Researchers developed a method to label and study human hair follicle stem cells using a fluorescent protein.
research The Extraction of Keratin from Human Hair Waste for Copolymerization with Nitrile Butadiene Rubber
Human hair keratin mixed with rubber slightly improves its strength and biodegradability.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
research Telogen Phase of Hair Growth Cycle Is Regulated by Cyclic Epithelial FGF18 Signaling
FGF18 controls hair growth rest phase.
research Ligand-Independent Vitamin D Receptor Actions Essential for Keratinocyte Homeostasis in the Skin
Vitamin D receptor actions without binding are crucial for healthy skin and hair.
