research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Oxidative Modification in Human Hair: The Effect of the Levels of Cu (II ) Ions, UV Exposure and Hair Pigmentation
Reducing copper (II) ion levels in hair can decrease hair damage.
research Keratin
Understanding how keratin structures in hair are arranged and interact is key for creating methods to extract and purify them.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Towards Dissecting the Pathogenesis of Retinoid-Induced Hair Loss: All-Trans Retinoic Acid Induces Premature Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen) by Upregulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β2 in the Dermal Papilla
All-trans retinoic acid causes hair loss by increasing TGF-β2 in hair follicle cells.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Mesenchyme governs hair follicle induction
The mesenchyme can start hair growth, but the exact signal that causes this is still unknown.
research Local circadian clock gates cell cycle progression of transient amplifying cells during regenerative hair cycling
Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research Skin-specific regulation of SREBP processing and lipid biosynthesis by glycerol kinase 5
A gene called Gk5 controls lipid production in the skin and affects hair growth.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research Role of hair as Evidence in Investigation: A Forensic Approach
Hair can help solve crimes by revealing personal and chemical information.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research An Investigation of Keratin 15 Function by Small Interfering Ribonucleic Acid Technology
Keratin 15 affects cell behavior and characteristics in skin cells.
research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
