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 Endocrine controls of primary adult human stem cell biology: Thyroid hormones stimulate keratin 15 expression, apoptosis, and differentiation in human hair follicle epithelial stem cells in situ and in vitro

42 citations , July 2010 in “European Journal of Cell Biology”

This study found that thyroid hormones T3 and T4 enhance keratin 15 promoter activity and stimulate CD200 expression in epithelial stem cells from human scalp hair follicles, affecting their growth and differentiation.

research Corrigendum to “Endocrine controls of primary adult human stem cell biology: Thyroid hormones stimulate keratin 15 expression, apoptosis, and differentiation in human hair follicle epithelial stem cells in situ and in vitro” [Eur. J. Cell Biol. (2010) 769–777]

1 citations , November 2012 in “European Journal of Cell Biology”

The authors clarified data overlap and corrected a figure error, apologizing for any confusion.

research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells (Flügelzellen) of the Human Hair Follicle

86 citations , May 2002 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.

research Defining a Region of the Human Keratin 6a Gene That Confers Inducible Expression in Stratified Epithelia of Transgenic Mice

44 citations , May 1997 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study found that regulatory sequences crucial for inducing K6a expression in response to epidermal injury are located in specific upstream regions of the K6a gene in transgenic mice.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

23 upvotes 10 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

community Hair cloning breakthrough, this might just be the big one ?

418 upvotes 6 months ago

Japanese scientists discovered ABM cells, enabling successful human hair follicle cloning, potentially curing hair loss. The treatment may be available in Japan by 2028, but it will be expensive and require travel.

community abusing caffeine boosts DHT levels!

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 1 year ago

Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
