research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Clinical, pathological, and molecular features of classical and L-type atypical-BSE in goats
Both classical and L-type atypical BSE from cattle can infect goats with different incubation times, and tests can distinguish between the two strains.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Peer Review #1 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.
research Human hair proteins as natural reactive oxygen species scavengers for in vitro applications
Human hair proteins, especially keratins, can protect cells from oxidative stress in lab settings.
research The Experimental Study on the Effect of Herbal Exrtacts on Hair Growth and Acnes

research Human Hair Keratin‐Associated Proteins (KAPs)
Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
research Electrospun egg white protein/polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide fibrous wound dressing: Fabrication, antibacterial, cytocompatibility and wound healing assay
Adding 1 mg/ml of graphene oxide to egg white protein wound dressings improves antibacterial properties and supports skin repair.
research Anti-wrinkle effect of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1a-extracellular domain (BMPR1a-ECD)
