research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair
Hair absorbs molecules differently based on their size, charge, and love for water, and less at higher pH; this can help make better hair products.
research Proteins as Hair Styling Agents
Proteins like BSA and keratin can effectively style hair and protect it, offering eco-friendly alternatives to chemical products.
research Cashmere growth control in Liaoning cashmere goat by ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen-like protein 2 and decorin genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research Histomorphometrical Characterization of Skin of Native Cattle (Bos indicus) in Bangladesh
Male cattle skin is better for quality leather production.
research Acute dermal and ocular irritation testing of rice bran supercritical CO2 extract (RB-SCE) and 0.5% RB-SCE essence product
Rice bran extract caused moderate skin irritation but no eye irritation, while a diluted essence was not irritating to skin and only slightly to guinea pigs.
research The effect of melatonin treatment on fur maturation period and hair follicle cycle in growing chinchillas
Melatonin treatment speeds up fur maturation and changes the hair growth cycle in young chinchillas.
research Hair follicle culture—a historical perspective
Advancements in hair follicle culture have led to better understanding and potential treatments for hair loss.
research Clinical Signs of Hair Damage

research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research The hair growth promoting effect of Sophora flavescens extract and its molecular regulation
Sophora flavescens extract may help hair grow by affecting growth factors and blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Normal Fur Development and Sebum Production Depends on Fatty Acid 2-Hydroxylase Expression in Sebaceous Glands
FA2H is essential for normal fur and sebum production in mice.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research Adenosine stimulates growth of dermal papilla and lengthens the anagen phase by increasing the cysteine level via fibroblast growth factors 2 and 7 in an organ culture of mouse vibrissae hair follicles
Adenosine helps hair grow longer and stronger by boosting certain growth factors and signaling pathways.
research Skin transcriptome reveals the intrinsic molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle cycling in Cashmere goats under natural and shortened photoperiod conditions
Changing light exposure can affect hair growth timing in goats, possibly due to a key gene, CSDC2.
