180-210 / 1000+ resultsresearch Protocol for Self-Assembled Human Hair Keratins
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research The walking dead: sequential nuclear and organelle destruction during hair development
Cells in hair die by breaking down their DNA and mitochondria as they form keratin.
research α-parvin is required for epidermal morphogenesis, hair follicle development and basal keratinocyte polarity
α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
research Role of the Wnt signaling pathway in keratoacanthoma
The Wnt signaling pathway is not a major factor in the development of keratoacanthoma, a type of skin tumor.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.

Human hair keratins help nerve regeneration and support Schwann cell activity.
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 The germinative epithelium of sheep vibrissae and wool follicles has extensive proliferative potential but is dependent on the dermal papilla
Sheep hair follicle cells can grow a lot but need the dermal papilla to do so.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.

Basal-cell epitheliomas and the pilosebaceous tract share a unique keratin, distinguishing them from other skin areas.
research Intracorneal vacuoles in skin diseases with parakeratotic hyperkeratosis in the dog: a retrospective light‐microscopy study of 111 cases (1973–2000)
Intracorneal vacuoles are common in parakeratotic skin diseases in dogs, especially with more parakeratosis.
research Hair Keratin: Composition, Structure and Biogenesis
research Immunolocalization of junctional proteins in human hairs indicates that the membrane complex stabilizes the inner root sheath while desmosomes contact the companion layer through specific keratins
Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.
research Three cDNA sequences of mouse type I keratins. Cellular localization of the mRNAs in normal and hyperproliferative tissues.
