510-540 / 1000+ resultsresearch Types of Hair Dye and Their Mechanisms of Action
Hair dyes vary in how long they last and how deeply they penetrate hair.
research Acquired curved hair is caused by fusion of multiple hair matrix cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.
research Overexpression of human keratin 16 produces a distinct skin phenotype in transgenic mouse skin
High levels of human keratin 16 in mice cause skin lesions and abnormal skin development.
research Igf1r signalling acts on the anagen‐to‐catagen transition in the hair cycle
Igf1r helps regulate hair growth cycles.
research Cutaneous Drug Eruptions Associated with the Use of Biologies and Cutaneous Drug Eruptions Mimicking Specific Skin Diseases
Some drugs, especially biologics, can cause skin reactions that look like other skin diseases, and stopping the drug usually helps clear up these reactions.
research 1617 Impact of type 2 cytokines on the keratinocytes-s. aureus interaction
Type 2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 increase skin's vulnerability to Staphylococcus aureus, which could be important for treating atopic dermatitis.
research The proteomics of keratin proteins
Modern techniques have improved the understanding of keratin proteins, revealing their roles in various cells and potential in disease diagnosis.

research Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research Role of Androgen in Mesenchymal Epithelial Interactions in Human Hair Follicle
Androgens promote beard growth but cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia, with TGF-β1 as a potential treatment target.
research Comparative genomics of the keratin-associated protein (KAP) gene clusters in human, chimpanzee, and baboon
KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.
research Permanent Hair Styles (“Perms”)
Perms can damage hair and scalp, so proper assessment and care are essential.
