research The enhancement of dermal papilla cell aggregation by extracellular matrix proteins through effects on cell–substratum adhesivity and cell motility
Skin cell clumping for hair growth is improved by a protein called fibronectin, which helps cells stick and move better.
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 Clinicopathological features and expression of four keratins (K10, K14, K17 and K19) in six cases of eruptive vellus hair cysts
Eruptive vellus hair cysts likely originate from the infrainfundibulum and sebaceous duct.
research Beauty is skin deep: the fascinating biology of the epidermis and its appendages.
The biology of skin and hair is complex and not fully understood.

DermaCult™ Keratinocyte Expansion Medium allows human skin cells to grow longer while keeping their ability to develop properly.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
K16 can partially replace K14 but causes hair loss and skin issues.
research 177 The Striatin-Interacting Phosphatase And Kinases complex is important for skin epidermal differentiation and barrier formation
The STRIPAK complex is crucial for skin cell organization and creating a functional skin barrier.
research Proteomic Analysis of Single Hairs
Hair proteins are complex and provide valuable genetic and biological information.
research Comparative immunohistochemical analysis suggests a conserved role of EPS8L1 in epidermal and hair follicle barriers of mammals
research An Unusual Ala12Thr Polymorphism in the 1A α-Helical Segment of the Companion Layer-Specific Keratin K6hf: Evidence for a Risk Factor in the Etiology of the Common Hair Disorder Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Close Shave for a Keratin Disorder—K6hf Polymorphism Linked to Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
research Distribution of caspase‐14 in epidermis and hair follicles is evolutionarily conserved among mammals
Caspase-14 is important for skin and hair development in all mammals.
research Histological evaluation of hair keratin based templates in mice
Keratin sponges are as biocompatible as collagen, but keratin gels are slightly less so.
research Delayed Wound Healing in Keratin 6a Knockout Mice
Keratin 6a is important for quick wound healing from hair follicles.
research The New Keratin Nomenclature
The keratin naming system was updated to include 54 genes, especially for hair-related keratins.
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 441 RPGRIP1L facilitates desmosomal adhesion through suppressing PKCβII-mediated desmoglein endocytosis: Implication in pemphigus
RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.
research Porokeratotic Eccrine Duct and Hair Follicle Nevus (PEHFN) Associated with Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness (KID) Syndrome
A 15-year-old with KID syndrome developed a rare skin condition called PEHFN.
research Keratin 19 as a biochemical marker of skin stem cells in vivo and in vitro: keratin 19 expressing cells are differentially localized in function of anatomic sites, and their number varies with donor age and culture stage
Keratin 19 helps identify skin stem cells, with its presence varying by body location, age, and culture stage.
research Localization of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 2 (PAI-2) in Hair and Nail: Implications for Terminal Differentiation
PAI-2 helps in the maturation and protection of hair and nail cells.
research Discovery of a novel murine keratin 6 (K6) isoform explains the absence of hair and nail defects in mice deficient for K6a and K6b
A new keratin 6 type in mice explains why some mice without certain keratin genes still have normal hair and nails.
research [Osteopontin of skin and hair follicle of rat].
Osteopontin may help hair follicle growth during the catagen phase.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
