540-570 / 1000+ resultsresearch Ultrastructural localization of hair keratins, high sulfur keratin-associated proteins and sulfhydryl oxidase in the human hair
Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.
research Quasi-Static Torsional Deformation of Single Hair Fibers: Application of a Modeling Approach and Results from Cosmetic Treatments.
The research found that twisting hair fibers can show changes in stiffness and damage, and help tell apart different hair treatments.
research Hair-Cycle-Associated Remodeling of the Peptidergic Innervation of Murine Skin, and Hair Growth Modulation by Neuropeptides
Neuropeptides affect hair growth, with some speeding it up and others slowing it down.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research A Study of the Expression of Small Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels (SK1-3) in Sensory Endings of Muscle Spindles and Lanceolate Endings of Hair Follicles in the Rat
SK2 channels help control sensory signals in rat muscle spindles and hair follicles.
research Hair follicle associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells jump from transplanted whiskers to pelage follicles and stimulate hair growth
Stem cells from whiskers can be transplanted to stimulate hair growth.
research Genomic Characterization of the Human Type I Cuticular Hair Keratin hHa2 and Identification of an Adjacent Novel Type I Hair Keratin Gene hHa5
research Characteristics of the microscopic hair structure of domestic mammals from Equidae family
Donkey and horse hair have different microscopic structures, which can help tell them apart.
research LB1609 The evolutionary trajectory of primate skin appendage traits
Humans evolved to have less hair and more sweat glands than chimpanzees and macaques.
research Hair Vibrissa Follicle Morphogenesis is Linked to the Expression of Retinoic Acid Receptors α and γ Genes
Retinoic acid receptors are important for hair follicle development.
research Use of primary keratinocyte cultures from plucked human hairs for analysis of gap junctional intercellular communication
Hair follicle cultures are effective for studying cell communication and testing chemicals.
research Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Recognition of the ultrastructure of the hair follicle of Cashmere goats under the transmission electron microscope
Recognizing ultrastructures of cashmere goat hair follicles helps identify and locate follicle layers.
research Formation and Structure: An Introduction to Hair
Hair is important for social and sexual communication in humans.
research Further Immunocytochemical Characterization of Cultured Hair Apparatus Cells
Immature hair cells can grow and change into different types of hair cells over time.
research Expression of hair-related keratins in a soft epithelium: Subpopulations of human and mouse dorsal tongue keratinocytes express keratin markers for hair-, skin- and esophageal-types of differentiation
Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.
research Suitability of hair type for dermatophytes perforation and differential diagnosis of T. mentagrophytes from T. verrucosum
Human black hair is best for distinguishing between T. mentagrophytes and T. verrucosum.
research Trps1 activates a network of secreted Wnt inhibitors and transcription factors crucial to vibrissa follicle morphogenesis
Trps1 is essential for proper hair follicle development.
research Animal Hair Fibers
Rabbit hair fibers are similar to wool and have a hollow center like feathers.
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 Morphology and Properties of Hair
Hair is made of strong keratin fibers that protect against the environment.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
research Ultrastructural Study on Connective Tissue-Epithelial Junctions in Anagen Hair Follicle of Human Fetus
