Structural Features of the Alpha-Type Filaments of the Inner Root Sheath Cells of the Guinea Pig Hair Follicle

research Structural features of the α-type filaments of the inner root sheath cells of the guinea pig hair follicle

24 citations , November 1978 in “Biochemistry”

This paper reports on the structural characteristics of α-type filaments in the inner root sheath cells of guinea pig hair follicles without presenting new clinical findings.

research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament

27 citations , November 2007 in “Genomics”

This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation

19 citations , December 2006 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

research Hair follicle differentiation: expression, structure and evolutionary conservation of the hair type II keratin intermediate filament gene family

65 citations , February 1992 in “Development”

This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.

research Complete sequence of a hair-like intermediate filament type II keratin gene

15 citations , January 1993 in “DNA sequence”

This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.

community What type of microneedling device should I use?

in Microneedling 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Use a stamp or roller for microneedling; stamps are preferred to avoid hair pulling. Clean tools with alcohol to prevent infection, and replace stamps every 4-6 uses.

community 5ar Type I in the frontal hair follicles - Dutasteride

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 21 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses that dutasteride may be more effective than finasteride for frontal hair loss due to higher 5ar Type 1 enzyme activity in that area. Some users question the validity of this information, while others confirm it with additional sources.

community What type of hairloss do I have on my temporal points?

12 upvotes 4 years ago

The user is experiencing thinning at the temporal points and has been using minoxidil, dermarolling, and a mixture of natural oils to improve hair growth. They are considering finasteride as a potential treatment based on shared information.

community A less common type of hairloss case

5 upvotes 5 months ago

High-dose Lysine and Histidine supplements caused curly/kinky hair and shedding due to Elastin dysfunction. Minoxidil, white tea, and dark grape juice were mentioned as treatments to inhibit Elastase and mimic Lysyl Oxidase.

learn Fluocinolone

What type of hair loss is Fluocinolone recommended for, and how does it help inflamed scalps? Fluocinolone is a prescription topical corticosteroid used for inflammatory scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and scarring alopecias. It calms inflammation rather than growing hair, it is not a treatment for pattern hair loss, and its labelling warns against prolonged use.
