research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Cashmere growth control in Liaoning cashmere goat by ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen-like protein 2 and decorin genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Expression of lipid-protein gene PLP2 in Liaoning cashmere goat
The PLP2 gene affects cashmere fiber quality in goats and is linked to hair growth and loss.
research Molecular Evolution and Protein Structure Variation of Dkk Family
Dkk genes evolved faster in birds and reptiles, affecting hair development functions.

Protein carbonylation is a sensitive marker for oxidative damage in hair, especially from light exposure.
research Identification of Novel Mutations in Basic Hair Keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in Monilethrix: Implications for Protein Structure and Clinical Phenotype
New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
research EFFECT OF POTASSIUM ON BLOOD-SUGAR AND PLASMA-INSULIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND HÆMODIALYSIS
Potassium levels affect blood sugar and insulin during dialysis, and malnutrition changes children's hair roots.
research Insights on the Hair Keratin Structure Under Different Drying Conditions
Drying hair with a microfiber towel better maintains hair strength and structure than using a cotton towel or blow-drier.
research Proteomics analysis of the secondary hair follicle cycle in Liaoning cashmere goat
The study found specific proteins that could mark different growth stages of cashmere goat hair and may help improve cashmere production.
research Damage limitation: comparing the impact of polymers on bleached hair, when applied within or as post-bleach treatments
Polymers help reduce damage and improve bleached hair when used during or after bleaching.
research Recombinant human hair keratin proteins for halting bleeding
Recombinant human hair keratin proteins can effectively stop bleeding.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research VEGF upregulates VEGF receptor-2 on human outer root sheath cells and stimulates proliferation through ERK pathway
VEGF stimulates hair cell growth and increases growth receptor levels through a specific signaling pathway.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy
Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.
research Discovery of differentially expressed genes in cashmere goat (Capra hircus) hair follicles by RNA sequencing
Researchers found 617 genes that behave differently in cashmere goat hair follicles, which could help understand hair growth.
research TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the genetic mechanisms of secondary hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep
Key proteins influence wool quality by affecting hair follicle development in sheep.
research HAIR | Overview
The document explains how hair is studied in forensics to identify its source and its role in criminal investigations.
research Expression of SPARC (secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine) throughout the hair cycle in rats
SPARC likely aids in tissue remodeling during the hair cycle, not in starting new hair growth phases.
research Hoxc13 polyglycine repeat gain-of-function drives mammalian integument evolution by altering targeted genes and interactions
The polyG fragment in Hoxc13 protein helps evolve mammalian skin and hair by enhancing gene interactions.
