research Decision letter: Arabidopsis formin 2 regulates cell-to-cell trafficking by capping and stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata
Arabidopsis Formin 2 stabilizes actin filaments to aid cell-to-cell trafficking.
research A new staining method for visualization of keratin filaments in hair fibre cross sections.
A new method effectively visualizes keratin in hair without harsh chemicals.
research Supplementary material from "Giant axonal neuropathy alters the structure of keratin intermediate filaments in human hair"
Giant axonal neuropathy changes the structure of keratin in human hair, making it stiffer and stronger.
research Nanoindentation of Hair Cortex and Medulla Regions
research Monofilament threads in treatment of female hair loss
Monofilament Threads significantly improve hair growth in women with pattern hair loss and are safe.
research A general mathematical model for the in vitro assembly dynamics of intermediate filament proteins
The model shows that filament flexibility and amino acid differences affect how fast intermediate filament proteins assemble.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
The study found 65 intermediate filament genes, including new keratins, and suggested updating keratin naming.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Proteopedia entry: Coiled‐coil structure of keratins
Keratins are crucial proteins for hair and nails, with a structure that helps teach protein principles.
research Identification of the C-terminal tail domain of AHF/trichohyalin as the critical site for modulation of the keratin filamentous meshwork in the keratinocyte
The C-terminal tail of AHF/trichohyalin is essential for organizing keratin filaments in keratinocytes.
research Three-dimensional modelling of interchain sequence similarities and differences in the coiled-coil segments of keratin intermediate filament heterodimers highlight features important in assembly
Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research How a Bird Gets Its Feathers: Insights from Chromatin Looping
Feather patterns are influenced by enhancers and chromatin looping, and the structure of protein complexes important for hair growth has been detailed.
research INTRODUCING THEORY LINKING GENESIS OF HAIR SHAFT BIPOLARITY WITH ARRECTOR PILI MUSCLE PROXIMAL ATTACHMENT
The document suggests that human hair has electrical charges because of a gap in nerve cell coverage that affects electromagnetic radiation.
