720-750 / 1000+ resultsresearch Immunohistochemical localization of fatty acid transporters and MCT1 in the sebaceous glands of mouse skin
Sebaceous glands help study fatty acid transporters and binding proteins.
research 132 Design of an in vitro skin 3D model mimicking a disruption of the barrier function
Activating the hexosamine pathway can improve skin health and increase hair follicle stem cells.
research The Role of Sebaceous Gland Activity and Scalp Microfloral Metabolism in the Etiology of Seborrheic Dermatitis and Dandruff
Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are caused by yeast feeding on scalp oils, leading to irritation and flaking.
research Hard Keratin IF and Associated Proteins
research Side gland of Suncus murinus as a new model of sebaceous gland: 5?-reductase, androgen receptor, and nuclear androgen content in male and female animals
The side gland of Suncus murinus is a good model for studying human sebaceous glands.
research Enhancing properties of damaged hair through moisture control via construction of highly hydrophobic surface
A silicone treatment makes damaged hair more water-resistant and stronger.
research Involucrin: A Constituent of Cross-Linked Envelopes and Marker of Squamous Maturation
Involucrin is crucial for skin cell maturation and protection.
research Acrodermatitis Dysmetabolica with Concomitant Acquired Acrodermatitis Enteropathica in a Patient with Maple Syrup Urine Disease
MSUD patients need careful monitoring of amino acids and zinc to prevent severe symptoms.
research The accelerated aging skin in rhino‐like SHJHhr mice
The SHJH hr mice with a mutated Hr gene show signs of faster skin aging due to poor antioxidative protection.
research Temporary Chemical Depilation
Chemical hair removal can cause skin irritation and other issues, but natural alternatives are being explored.
research Utilization of L-Cystine and L- and D-Methionine by Mink during the Period of Intensive Hair Growth
Mink use L-methionine and L-cystine slightly better than natural amino acids for hair growth, but D-methionine is not effective.
research Human KAP Genes, Only the Half of it? Extensive Size Polymorphisms in Hair Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
KAP genes show significant genetic variability, but its impact on hair traits is unclear.
research Peptidylarginine Deiminase Isoforms Are Differentially Expressed in the Anagen Hair Follicles and Other Human Skin Appendages
PAD enzymes play a key role in hair growth and structure.
research Loss of a homologous group of proteins in a dominantly inherited ectodermal malformation
Naked-mouse hair lacks certain proteins and has less soluble fibril.
research Trichothiodystrophy and fragile hair: the distinction between diagnostic signs and diagnostic labels in childhood hair disease
Fragile hair in children is rarely linked to trichothiodystrophy (TTD).
research X-ray diffraction study of the nanostructural dynamics of fibrillar systems of hair tissue
Hair tissue can help monitor environmental and public health risks.
research Molecular characterization of xerosis cutis: A systematic review
It's unclear which molecules best characterize dry skin due to inconsistent findings.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on an Atomistic Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin-Associated Protein 5-1
Damaged hair allows water to penetrate more easily, and fatty acids from shampoos can deposit on hair surfaces.
research Human stratified squamous epithelia differ in cellular fatty acid composition
Fatty acid composition in human skin, mouth, and hair cells varies with keratinization, and cultured cells show essential fatty acid deficiency.
research Fractography of human hair
Moisture content significantly affects how human hair breaks.
research Apoptosis and keratin intermediate filaments
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research Hair stress hormones in individuals with a recent suicide attempt experiencing a depressive episode
People who recently attempted suicide during depression showed signs of adrenal fatigue, but had higher DHEA levels around the attempt time.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research The Effects of Spermidine on Functional and Transcriptomic Markers in Human Primary Keratinocytes
Spermidine may improve skin health and hair growth by enhancing cell function.
research ‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ principles defining the structure, function and regulation of keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments are crucial for cell structure and protection, with ongoing discoveries about their genes and functions.
research Extractable substances from human hair: a discussion about the origin of the holes
Holes in mature hair are likely caused by the removal of substances during hair care.
