Platelet concentrates may help tissue regeneration and have potential for regenerative therapies.
research Saliva secretion in engrafted mouse bioengineered salivary glands using taste stimulation
Bioengineered salivary glands in mice can produce saliva when tasting sour or bitter, but have different protein levels and nerve signals compared to natural glands.
research Research Progress in Composition, Classification and Influencing Factors of Hair
Lipids are important for healthy hair, but their exact role is not fully understood and needs more research.
research Nutrition and Hair
Eating the right nutrients can improve hair health, but taking extra supplements usually doesn't help unless you have a deficiency.
research Structural change of keratin protein in human hair by permanent waving treatment
Permanent waving damages hair by disrupting its keratin structure.
research Mammalian keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs) subgenomes: disentangling hair diversity and adaptation to terrestrial and aquatic environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Transcriptional profiling in alopecia areata defines immune and cell cycle control related genes within disease-specific signatures
The study found that immune responses disrupt hair growth cycles, causing hair loss in alopecia areata.
research The Ethnic Differences of the Damage of Hair and Integral Hair Lipid after Ultra Violet Radiation
Asian hair is more resistant to UV damage due to higher lipid content.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.
research The Enzymic Derivation of Citrulline Residues from Arginine Residues In Situ during the Biosynthesis of Hair Proteins that are Cross-Linked by Isopeptide Bonds
Hair follicles have an enzyme that converts arginine to citrulline in proteins.
research The transdermal inhibition of melanogenesis by a cell-membrane-permeable peptide delivery system based on poly-arginine

Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Protein Kinase C Epsilon Signals Ultraviolet Light-induced Cutaneous Damage and Development of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Possibly Through Induction of Specific Cytokines in a Paracrine Mechanism¶
Protein kinase C epsilon may increase skin cancer risk by affecting nearby cells.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation, Smoking and Nutrition on Hair
Ultraviolet rays damage hair, smoking may cause hair loss, and good nutrition is important for hair health, but genetics mainly decide hair thickness.
research Dose–hair concentration relationship and pigmentation effects in patients on low-dose clozapine
Clozapine levels in hair reflect dosage and bind more to pigmented hair.
research Can dermal delivery of therapeutics be improved using thermoresponsive nanogels?
Thermoresponsive nanogels show promise for delivering medicine through the skin but need more safety testing and regulatory approval before clinical use.
