Type I collagen, elastin, keratin, ceramides, and melanin improve hair strength, growth, and health.
research Integrated Meta-Analysis of Scalp Transcriptomics and Serum Proteomics Defines Alopecia Areata Subtypes and Core Disease Pathways
Early intervention in patch-type alopecia may prevent progression to more severe forms by targeting immune pathways and preserving keratin.
research Identification of key genes and signaling pathways related to Hetian sheep wool density by RNA-seq technology
Certain genes and pathways are linked to the production of finer and denser wool in Hetian sheep.
research Baicalin inhibits recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 promoter and reverses hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
K16 can partially replace K14 but causes hair loss and skin issues.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Induction of Hair Keratins Expression by an Annurca Apple-Based Nutraceutical Formulation in Human Follicular Cells
An apple-based supplement was found to stimulate hair protein production, which may help with hair growth.
research Histopathological Analysis on keratin2-6 g Expression in Hair Mutant Mouse Hague
Keratin2-6g is crucial for hair follicle development, with mutations causing cell degeneration and vacuolation.
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 Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Revisiting the significance of keratin expression in complex epithelia
Keratin gene expression helps understand different types of skin cells and their development, and should be used carefully as biological markers.
