research Dynamics of Actin Filaments Play an Important Role in Root Hair Growth under Low Potassium Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana

August 2024 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study found that root hairs of wild-type Arabidopsis grow faster and longer under low potassium stress, with changes in actin filament dynamics and specific regulation by the actin bundling proteins VLN1 and VLN4.

research The in vitro Assembly of Hair Follicle Keratins: Comparison of Cortex and Companion Layer Keratins

13 citations , January 2002 in “Biological chemistry”

This study found that hair follicle-specific keratins can form different structural assemblies depending on ionic conditions, with hair cortex keratins requiring physiological salt conditions to form intermediate filaments.

research Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Trichocyte (Hard α-Keratin) Intermediate Filaments Reveals a Low-Density Core

48 citations , January 2002 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

research The structure of human trichohyalin : potential multiple roles as a functional ef-hand-like calcium-binding protein, a cornified cell envelope precursor, and an intermediate filament-associated (cross-linking) protein

2 citations , January 1993

This study found that human trichohyalin has a unique protein sequence potentially contributing to at least three important functions in hair follicle and epidermal cells.

research The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence for trichohyalin, a differentiation marker in the hair follicle, contains a 23 amino acid repeat.

39 citations , February 1990 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology”

This study identified trichohyalin as an early differentiation marker in hair follicles, with potential structural roles related to alpha-helical formations, based on the partial characterization of its cDNA in sheep.

community Sebaceous filaments / blackheads on scalp - are they a cause of MPB or a symptom?

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 2 months ago

Sebaceous filaments or blackheads on the scalp are not a cause of hair loss; it's more likely due to hormonal factors, particularly in androgen-sensitive areas like the temples and crown. The user is using topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for treatment.
