research Mouse Hair Cycle Expression Dynamics Modeled as Coupled Mesenchymal and Epithelial Oscillators
The study concluded that hair growth in mice is regulated by a stable interaction between skin cell types, and disrupting this can cause hair loss.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Shaft Cuticle–Specific Keratin-Associated Protein 10 Family
KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.
research Comparison of viral RNA–host protein interactomes across pathogenic RNA viruses informs rapid antiviral drug discovery for SARS-CoV-2
Cepharanthine and Trifluoperazine are effective against SARS-CoV-2.
research Poly(rC) binding protein 2 acts as a negative regulator of IRES-mediated translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research 764 DNA dioxygenases Tet1/2/3 control hair matrix keratinocyte differentiation and hair shaft shape via regulation of hair keratin gene expression
The enzymes Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 are important for the development of hair follicles and determining hair shape by controlling hair keratin genes.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research Celsr1 and Celsr2 exhibit distinct adhesive interactions and contributions to planar cell polarity
Celsr1 is crucial for skin cell alignment, while Celsr2 has little effect on this process.
research Ayurveda & Bioactives as Adjuvant for Dna Modulation in Cancer Treatment & Adverse Drug Reaction [ADR] – A Glimpse of Traditional Indian Nanotechnology
Ayurvedic herbs may reduce side effects and improve effectiveness of cancer treatments.
research Lymphoid Enhancer-binding Factor-1 (LEF1) Interacts with the DNA-binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor
LEF1 interacts with Vitamin D Receptor, affecting hair follicle regeneration and this could be linked to hair loss conditions.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Protein kinase Akt2/PKBβ is involved in blastomere proliferation of preimplantation mouse embryos
Akt2 protein is essential for normal cell division in early mouse embryos.

Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Strengthening the Skin with Topical Delivery of Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 Using a Novel DNA Plasmid
Applying a special DNA plasmid to the skin can make it thicker and stronger.
research A new mutation resulting in the truncation of the TRAF6-interacting domain of XEDAR: a possible novel cause of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: Figure 1
A new mutation in the XEDAR gene might cause a rare skin condition called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research OsUEV1B, an Ubc enzyme variant protein, is required for phosphate homeostasis in rice
OsUEV1B protein is essential for controlling phosphate levels in rice.
research GLI2-specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells

The research found that certain microRNAs are important for human hair growth and health.
research Dermal papilla cells and melanocytes response to physiological oxygen levels depends on their interactions
Low oxygen levels improve the function of hair and skin cells when they are in direct contact.
research Molecular modeling of hair keratin/peptide complex: Using MM‐PBSA calculations to describe experimental binding results
Electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize the binding of peptides to hair keratin.
research Folliculin interacts with p0071 (plakophilin-4) and deficiency is associated with disordered RhoA signalling, epithelial polarization and cytokinesis
Folliculin deficiency causes problems with cell division and positioning due to disrupted RhoA signaling and interaction with p0071.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
Hair loss is caused by the breakdown of a protein called COL17A1 in hair follicle stem cells.
research Contribution of Environmental Constituents in the Genomic Disruption of Cytokeratins
