Research cited in this study

3 / 3 results

research The Human Keratins: Biology And Pathology

1398 citations , May 2008 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology”

This review summarizes the cell type distribution and functional significance of human keratins, emphasizing their roles in tumor diagnosis and potential clinical applications, and reports no new clinical findings.

research Trichohyalin Mechanically Strengthens the Hair Follicle

108 citations , October 2003 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study documents that trichohyalin acts as a multi-functional cross-bridging protein in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, enhancing mechanical strength by linking keratin filaments to the cell envelope.

research Trichohyalin, an Intermediate Filament-Associated Protein of the Hair Follicle

116 citations , April 1986 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology”

This study reports that a 190,000 molecular weight protein, identified as trichohyalin, may play a matrix role in the development of inner root sheaths in hair follicles.
