research Characterization of Prostaglandin F2α Receptors in Human Eyelids
PGF2α receptors in human eyelids are found in specific parts of hair follicles, explaining eyelash changes with glaucoma treatment.
research Fibroblast heterogeneity and tertiary lymphoid tissues in the kidney
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in kidney repair and aging, and may affect chronic kidney disease outcomes.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Hair cosmetics
The article concludes that advancements in hair cosmetics require dermatologists to stay informed about products and their potential risks, including allergies and higher risks for hairdressers.
research Facial preservation following extreme mummification: Shrunken heads
Shrunken heads retain some facial features and hair characteristics, allowing for limited individual identification.
research Tribological Properties between Taut Hair Fibers in Wet Conditions: A New Shampoo Formulation for Eliminating Stick‐Slip Friction
Shampoo B, which uses water-soluble silicone, is better at detangling hair in wet conditions due to its two-layer conditioning film.
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 A 30-Year Follow-Up of Wax Injection for the Prevention of Androgenic Alopecia
Wax injection did not stop hair loss and caused changes to the skull.
research Medical treatment of hirsutism
The conclusion is that the best initial treatment for hirsutism is usually oral contraceptives, with the addition of antiandrogens or insulin sensitizers if needed, and topical eflornithine or laser treatments as supplementary options.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research The lack of significant changes in scalp hair follicle density with advancing age
Aging alone barely affects the number of hair follicles, meaning hair loss is minimal without other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
research State-dependent signaling by Cav1.2 regulates hair follicle stem cell function
Cav1.2 affects hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatments.
research Expression of Keratin 75 (K6hf) in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Keratin 75 might be important in oral cancer progression.
research Ectodysplasin-A (EDA) Signaling Cross-Talk in Skeletogenesis
The EDA pathway plays a key role in bone development by interacting with other signaling pathways.
research Stem cell activity shapes the pleiotropic effects of IFN-γ and TGF-β in autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer, and drives autoimmune flares and remissions
Stem cell activity influences autoimmune disease outcomes by affecting immune responses and tissue regeneration.
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 Cisd2 deficiency impairs neutrophil function by regulating calcium homeostasis via Calnexin and SERCA
Lack of Cisd2 disrupts calcium balance in cells, leading to poorly functioning neutrophils.
research Basics of Hormonal Contraception
Hormonal contraceptives are effective for teens but require careful consideration of side effects and individual health.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.

German shepherd hair varies in color and pattern but is flat with a consistent internal structure.
research Analysis of androgen receptor expression and activity in the mouse brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
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 What factors play a role in unhealthy hair?
Environmental, chemical, mechanical, and personal health factors can all damage hair and contribute to hair loss or changes in hair quality.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
