This study demonstrates that Rac1 activity is essential for normal hair follicle formation but influences hair structure and pigmentation, in terminal differentiation, through alterations in hair shaft, cuticle, and pigmentation organization.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins related to metallothionein and occludin appear in various animals, suggesting they may have roles beyond hair characteristics and were later adapted for hair production.

This study explored the potential of human hair keratin as a filtration material, finding that it may effectively absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutanesulfonate. The researchers reported significant binding affinities through molecular simulations, supporting further investigation into keratin's use for water purification.

This study found that the hHa7 gene in hair follicle trichocytes is the first identified to have its expression directly regulated by androgens, suggesting it as a marker for androgen action on hair follicles.

This genetic study identified a potential interval for the Marie Unna hypotrichosis gene but found no mutations in the nearby hr gene, suggesting its involvement remains unconfirmed.
